Using Deplhi in design mode, the Engine is Open, the Session is Connected,
the Database is Connected. But when I use the Object Inspector to change the
Active property of a Table from False to True, I get a Remote Login dialog,
asking for username and password. Both username and password are in place in
EDBManager, and in the session component, all still at default values.

Why is that Remote Login popping up?

Probably the same problem: when my app runs, and tries to open a table, I
get a #501, username or password incorrect. Isn't that being picked up from
the session component automatically?

Is there any way to NOT use usernames and passwords at all? I have no use
for them, and with the limited Help they are really getting in the way of
making some progress.

Have you linked the session to the table? If everything else is correct and you've done that you won't be prompted.

ps make sure the session is linked to ALL tables and queries you want to use.

Thanks. That was it. We are doing a conversion from the BDE, and the BDE
uses the default session if this is blank.

I am having some general problems understanding sessions. I just copied a
CFG file to someone else's computer. He opens it in EDBManager, and only the
default session exists on his end, whereas I had defined one extra session.
Is that thing not stored in the CFG file? After creating the extra session
on the other end, my database and tables duly popped up. Why is the session
not copied when I copy a CFG file?

Roy,

Yes, but the issue is that EDB requires user logins regardless of whether
you're using the default session or not.  The BDE doesn't require a logins
for local databases like Paradox.

No.  The session definitions for the EDB Manager are stored in the
application data folder in an .INI file.  They are not stored in the
configuration file.
