I am using CBuilder 11.3 Professional. Is there any way I can make a mobile phone program to allow multiple phones to read a table on a server database. Is the only way to do this is to upgrade to Enterprise version. I have a VCL windows program that I have uploaded data to a MySQL database but I could use some other type of database. Bill

You cannot do much with the Professional version of the software. I think Interbase too much for my application. I am looking into using TCP server and client to connect to a program that connects to the database. People will need to be in the same building as the database to use it. The information in the database is not very important. It only contains date and time data and some room numbers of a building.

Thankyou, I will try to figure out how to set up a Interbase server.

I am using CBuilder 11.2 IDE. I am trying to connect to a Mysql database using dbExpress. I get the same error with my program and also using Data Explorer. The error is: DBX Error Client library may be missing. I found the file LibMySQL.dll was missing from my computer. I downloaded it but there is no change. There must be something missing in the IDE for the Data Explorer to not be working. Is there something else I need to install.

I solved the problem by using FireDAC. The LibMySQL.dll I have will work with FireDAC. I just need to have a MySQL database that allows a connection from a remote computer. I am now using google for testing. The only thing with google it requires you to give them your IP address in order to be let in. Not a good solution for my customer since the IP address can change.

There is no reason I have to use dbExpress. FireDac does not seem to work either in DataExporer. I have an existing VCL program that I need to add the ability to upload a new record to a MySql database. I downloaded the 32 bit version of LibMySQL.dll it is version 6.1. Maybe I need an older version.
