Peter,

<< Well, that would appear to be the case. With my code in the OP, if I set
breakpoints at "ExeLocation := ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName);
" in the OnCreate and "ConfigPath := ExeLocation;" in the BeforeStart, the
latter does not fire before I get the 409 when I execute
"sesStraw.Connected:=True;" in the OnCreate event. I would not have expected
this I guess but then maybe Roy has a point when he talks about the order of
events firing in Delphi not always being totally predictable ... ? >>

I'll have to check this out in more detail.  I can't think of a scenario in
which this should occur, and if it is, then it is definitely a bug.

Hi Roy:

I too use GExperts to do this, but it wont turn off the TEDBEngine for
me.  Does this work for you?  I always have to manually go turn it off.

GExperts seems to work for me, but I'm not sure how to test it.

Hi Dale

It works for me .. just tested again ..
I only set TEDBEngine.Active to False.
If I have it (along with the session and database) True while in the
IDE, it does set the lot to False before a Build.  Saves a lot of
headbanging!

I am using D2009 and GExperts 1.33

Maybe I am blind - but which feature of GExperts does this job?
