Tim,

No need to apologize! I'm just getting excited as hell because the
light bulb finally came on over my head with regard to most things EDB!
I am finishing porting over two major applications from DBISAM v4 and I
can't believe how *GREAT* ElevateDB actually is and how easily it works.

One of the greatest things I have just found is with the EDBManager. As
a preface, I am running three different DBISAM servers in different
divisions (on different boxes at different locations) at the department
throughout the city. Using DBSys with DBISAM I had to change the
options and then log into each one separately (and do it one at a time)
in order with work with tables. I also had to do the same thing in
order to view logs and or users in each server with the server
administration application. However with EDB Manager I simply set up
three different remote sessions and VOILA...I can view and/or work with
all the servers and all the data at the same time from one utility!
Genius!

Keep up the great work...I can wait (although it will be hard) for
these enticing new features having anything to do with ElevateDB.

Hmmm...my \utilcomps directory is empty. I even checked all the
\utilcomps directories in my D2007, D2010 and Delphi XE folders and
they were also all empty.

No biggie for me but just wanted you to be aware of it (unless I did
something wrong but all I did was install it.)

Great, I'm glad that you like it so much.  I'm liking it a lot more now,
also, especially since I've been able to fill out the functionality and
bring forward a lot of the stuff that everyone liked about DBISAM, but was
missing from the initial releases of EDB.

I really like this aspect of the EDB Manager also, especially since I have
hundreds of local test databases defined in a single session, and I can go
back and review them at any time, if necessary.  I can also have many
different sessions defined for test cases where customers are using
different encryption/file extension settings that require custom session
definitions.

Darn, sorry about that - the setups are creating the directory but not
populating it.  I'll make sure that this is fixed for the next build.

Thanks,

Just wondering if these features made it into 2.05 Build 4?

No, not yet.  The past few weeks have been eaten up by DBISAM support
issues, so I'm not getting much done.
