As shown in the image above, when defining the table fields, the Numeric type is displayed with a size of 8 in the integer field and 2 in the decimal field. And after I save it and open it to insert data, it shows the Long type for the Value field, as shown, returning an error if I enter a decimal value. Why does this happen and how can I solve it? Can you help me? Respectfully, Miguel Archanjo Ferreira Duarte Júnior.

Yes, but what documentation?

I didn't understand your position.

What documentation? I don't read, write or speak English. To talk to you, I use Google Translate?

But how am I going to create tables in IBconsole if what was used for this was the Database Desktop?

So what replaces Database Desktop for creating tables and interacting with Interbase?

I'm using Delphi 7, right. On a virtual machine with Windows 8.1. It's still accessible with this system. I still don't understand why this error is being given. In the most modern versions of Delphi there is no Database Desktop or anything that replaces it. Or is there? If there is, please tell me?

I'm using Interbase. I don't understand why you're warning me. I'm following the book that I'm using. But anything you can tell me will be useful for my learning. Once again, it's not SQL, it's Interbase. But I'll pay attention to what you're telling me. If you can help me any further, I'll be grateful.

You need to run the database desktop application in the menu tools of Delphi 7 but these two messages appear: "private directory is invalid or undefined. using temporary directory instead." e "working directory is invalid or undefined. use startup directory instead." Is anyone able to help me please? To continue programming the application. I won't wait, Respectfully, Miguel A. F. D. Jr.

It doesn't have a user-friendly interface. It doesn't look anything like what I see in the Database Desktop book.

I've already downloaded it. It should be similar to the desktop database. I'll study it and see how I can replace it and use the book as a guide.

I have a Delphi 7 book and it teaches you how to use the Database Desktop. But I don't know which one is compatible to work in Delphi 7 similar to the Database Desktop. If you can tell me I'll be grateful.

So what replaces Database Desktop?

I mean, for example: Interbase or IBexpert?

What do you mean your own replacement?

Understood. You say install a virtual machine and create an environment. For example: you have Windows 8. You can create an environment with it and install Delphi 7 to run the Database Desktop. That's what you say, right?

Preciso executar o aplicativo database desktop no menu tools do delphi 7 mas surge estas duas mensagens "private directory is invalid or undefined. using temporary directory instead." e "working directory is invalid or undefined. use startup directory instead." Se alguém puder me ajudar ficarei grato ? Para que continue a programar minha aplicação. No aguardo, Respeitosamente, Miguel A. F. D. Jr.

So, how can I make it work? Working with Windows 11. Is there no way to configure it? Subtly, is there any help on how to make it work?

I can't run my simple application with the About item in the About Menu. After creating the About Form with the Principal unit also created, when running it only the About Dialog box is shown.

VCL or CLX? How do I know what type of application I'm starting in a project in Delphi 7. How do I start a project in VCL or CLX and know if I'm in a VCL or a CLX? I'm a beginner.

Tá bom.

I understood. But the interesting thing is that it doesn't show in my "new" that the application is VCL in Delphi 7. It only shows when it is CLX. It should be like the Default Delphi 7 VCL. Thanks. Grateful.

Even if it's what you say. But can you answer my last question?

I understood. The current application is VCL. I understood that. But what I want to know: is how do I use VCL in Delphi 7, or better yet, know that in the form I'm designing, if VCL is running? Because the VCL name does not appear in the components window. CLX only. Remembering, I'm a beginner and I don't know how to run VCL in "Delphi 7". And I'm using "Delphi 7".
