Recno and EDB |
Tue, Aug 21 2007 1:34 AM | Permanent Link |
"Adam H." | Hi,
IIRC, the property recno for TEDBDatasets was not going to be populated correctly for ElevateDB. I'm just thinking ahead here for when I port by applications from DBISam to EDB - is there a preferred recommendation for an alternative use to .recno, if I need to obtain the record number? Thanks & Regards Adam. |

No idea about DBISam, but we just ported a BDE application to EDB, and we used RecNo a lot. Days of extra work. It was probably 60-70% of the total conversion time. RJ |

If .recordcount still works, I guess I could look at implementing an inc(x) routine to try and get past this, or is their another method I should be looking at? Thanks & Regards Adam. |

It's more for progress bars and so forth when looping through a query for calculations, etc. Cheers Adam. |
