I want  to insert a bitmap on it's own left side again using canvas.drawbitmap function 

but actually this code does not do anything..... can't see my mistake here  😞 

procedure InsertonMyleft(aBMP : TBitmap);
var
  tempBMP: TBitmap;
  RecFull: TRectF;
  RecLeft: TRectF;
begin
  tempBMP := TBitmap.Create;

  try

    aBMP.Canvas.BeginScene;

    tempBMP.Assign(localBMP);

    tempBMP.SaveToFile('c:\temp\debugme.bmp');

    RecFull := RectF(0, 0, aBMP.Width, aBMP.Height);

    RecLeft := RectF(0, 0, round(aBMP.Width / 3),
      round(aBMP.Height / 1));

    aBMP.Canvas.DrawBitmap(tempBMP, RecFull, RecLeft, 50, True);

    aBMP.Canvas.EndScene;

    aBMP.SaveToFile('c:\temp\debugme2.bmp');

  finally

    tempBMP.Free;

  end;
end;

always full path like:

I'm suffering  some strange  issue, guessing  that  the function fileexist  will  not work 100 % stable,

if I check  for  filenames  with several spaces .... 

filenamestr := 'my  report from home.csv'
if fileexists ()  then 

      begin 

      ....

      end

      else

      begin

      .....

      end;

on some  computers, some  folders, ...  this seems to work, other computer and folder structure  this  call fails ....

the identical setup as mentioned here ,  I did on  second computer,  now  with MYSQL database server 

how to evaluate the correct connection parameters using Delphi and firedac @ LINUX 

I'm running 2 MSSQL Servers  on my  Computer

MSSQL Server #1  :    installed on WIN 10 Host OS on my Computer

MSSQL Server #2 :     installed on VM Ware LINUX ( UBUNTU 18.04) Client,  I also installed AZURE  data studio inside the VM Ware OS

Q1 :   How to connect from AZURE data studio  to SQL Server #2,  I failed with different settings so far :-(, what will be the correct server name ??

Q2 :  How to connect  to MSSQL Server #1  on HOST OS ??   Computername\sqlexpress does not work from AZURE data studio, but this works fine connecting directly  from HOST OS to  this MSSQL server

I#m using VM network settings = Bridged
