I used to do quite a bit of DBISAM and some ElevateDB development using Delphi and am now getting back into the game after a few year hiatus using Lazarus so I'm not a total newb, although am feeling a bit like I am...

I setup my database exactly as the tutorial explains in the "ElevateDB Version 2 Manual" and noticed a discrepancy between the tutorial and reality. On Page 12 step 11: "DatabaseName property and change its value to TutorialDB", if I set the DatabaseName property to TutorialDB, I get the following error when I run the application: Project LIM raised exception class 'EEDBException' with message: ElevateDB Error #401 The database TutorialDB does not exist
In file 'edbconfig.pas' at line 5734. If I change the DatabaseName to "Tutorial" instead. The application runs as expected.

I hope this helps anyone else that may have encountered the same issue and am curious as to which is correct.

Sys Specs:
Win7
Lazarus: 1.6.2
ElevateDB EngineVersion: 2.24 Build 3
Huge fan of DBISAM and ElevateDB. I've been using it since 2001.

Did you possibly skip step #9, where the TEDBDatabase's DatabaseName is set to 'TutorialDB'.  That is what the TEDBTable should be picking up, and you should be able to see this by using the drop-down combo box for the TEDBTable.DatabaseName property editor.

Tim, Thanks for the follow-up. I double checked, and it's set as it should be in "TEDBDatabase's DatabaseName". I'm picking it up using the Database property.It seems quite odd.

Okay, I know that you switched to using the VCL version, but I will double-check on this and see if I can find out what the issue is.
