I don't think Developer edition allows that. Just tried tcp/ip localhost anyway and received "Unable to complete network request..."

Anyone know how to get rid of this?

Not sure what you mean by "change caption for different fields". You can do this at design time by right click fdTable and open field editor, right click and add all fields (or the ones you want), then set the DisplayLabel property of each field. Hope that helps

I do something similar to Danny. DBControls and TDataSource on form, Devart components on a TDataModule. I have a unit between them, but to avoid having your form reference the DataModule you can assign them at runtime TForm.TDataSource.DataSet := TDataModule.TMyQuery. Also it seems that your customer knows his way around a database. You might have a look at http://www.rosinsky.cz/delphi/ Thomas has a filter dialog, as well as a Grid properties dialog that allows the end user to select the grid columns and create filters almost as good as a SQL statement Gary

Delphi 10.4.1 Windows 10 Why does this leak memory? FastMM4 reports A memory block has been leaked.

The Clear procedure is also an attempt after seeing it in a different post. What is the proper way to free memory of a record I create in a list? Thanks in advance, Gary Unit1.pas Unit1.dfm

Ya, so is it bad practice to have a simple class like TReminderItem = class public EmployeeID: Integer; EmployeeName: String; HireDate: TDate; LastDate: TDate; Notes: String; end; without the requisite properties, getters and setters just to move data around?

Thanks Stefan, I have always been confused by records and pointers, but with the new custom managed records wanted to give it another try since it looks like records for just data storage are simpler to work with than classes. I will probably just use a class with simple properties but here is the revised code with record pointer. I do need to change Data as I will use the record to read data from a database and fill the list with records. TReminderItem = record FEmployeeID: Integer; FEmployeeName: String; FHireDate: TDate; FLastDate: TDate; FNotes: String; end; PReminderItem = ^TreminderItem; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var LList : TList<PReminderItem>; LReminderItem : PReminderItem; begin LList := TList<PReminderItem>.Create; try GetReminder(LList); ShowMessage(Format('Name: %s', [LList[0]^.FEmployeeName])); finally for LReminderItem in LList do Dispose(LReminderItem); LList.Free; end; end; procedure TForm1.GetReminder(AList: TList<PReminderItem>); var LReminderItem : PReminderItem; begin // LReminderItem := TReminderItem.Create; New(LReminderItem); LReminderItem^.FEmployeeID := 1; LReminderItem^.FEmployeeName := 'Test Name'; LReminderItem^.FHireDate := Now; LReminderItem^.FLastDate := Now; LReminderItem^.FNotes := 'A Note'; AList.Add(LReminderItem); end; Thanks again Gary

So how do I do it? I have tried Dispose, finally for LReminderItem in LList do Dispose(LReminderItem); LList.Free; end; I get a compiler error incompatible type if I try (No doubt wrong) using the correct type var PReminderItem : ^TReminderItem; and finally for LReminderItem in LList do begin PReminderItem := @LReminderItem; Dispose(PReminderItem); end; LList.Free; end; It compiles but I get an exception Also David notice the list is indeed a TList<TReminderItem>. if I just leave out the attempt to free the memory and just free the List I get the Memory leak

For me as well! Thanks Uwe

I have the same problem Access Violation ntdll.dll Also worked fine in 10.4.1 Still works just gives violation on startup From their blog Pascal Analyzer, Pascal Browser and Pascal Expert support Delphi 10.4! August 7, 2020

Do you have tblConts linked in any way to other tables? Master/Detail?

Bought the eBook recently. On chapter 8. I found several tips and explanations already that made it more than worth the price.

Maybe a long shot...I have this happen from time to time and the problem is TestInsight, for no reason the 'run tests continually when idle' gets selected. IDE will seem to hang because tests are running. Drove me crazy until I found it.

I use http://www.rosinsky.cz/delphi/ his DB controls including grid are $70 whole package that includes some excellent dialogs for end user is $95. He is very responsive to support.

I just found AQTime Standard on GetIt and installed it. Found an old post on how to use it. Dr.Bob Examines... #131: Delphi XE and AQtime Standard (drbob42.com) After creating a project the first step is to right click the left pane to add modules. Doing this brings up MMX Commands > , now it's displayed over everything. I just went back and tried in Delphi and when I switch back to finish this post the MMX Command popup is still on screen. From here on out it's a fight between MMX and every other menu. You can click a second time or third to eventually get what you want. This includes Delphi menu's.

The problem is not with MMX but AQTime. Once I finished test driving AQTime and started work I found that it hijacked the right click. I no longer had the Delphi popup. Removed both, Re-Installed AQTime - no Delphi popup just AQTime. Removed AQTime Re-Install MMX - All is good in code land again!!

Awesome just to get a response!! And on a Sunday playoff weekend

Hello all, Getting "ibtogo64.dll not found in the path" when trying to run on any computer that does not have Interbase installed. I have been using Advantage local server and would like to move to iblite for testing and small desktop projects. I created a small test project using the sample data. I copied the compiled project and supporting files, including license file and data to a USB drive. Stopped the Interbase service and ran the project fine. Moved the USB drive to a different computer and got the error as soon as project ran. To make sure the running project was using the local DLL, I moved the USB back to the development computer and removed the DLL. Got the error, pasted back everything fine. What am I missing. Things I checked: Made sure DLL's are in same directory as exe Deployment files all checked except reg_ibtogo.txt using reg_iblite.txt reg_iblite.txt is in the license folder Interbase directory in same directory as exe Project is release version I ran the program from USB on laptop that has Interbase installed and service stopped and worked fine. any help would be appreciated, Gary

@emailx45 Success!! The fact that both of our licenses are the same for IBLite is no surprise, especially if you look at the docwiki I linked above. It is part of the install for all Rad Studio editions. FYI you should know that the links you sent above for XE3 do not apply for Rio? and above, in fact if you run the license registration and use the .txt file it will not work. As to licenseManager, I checked again and that screenshot was from the Interbase\bin directory. I had to start over and use your example as a guide. Thanks much. I still am not sure where I went wrong. I think some of it had to do with setting things in the IDE, and also I was using TIBDatabase instead of Firedac. I did not reply back right away, I wanted to see if I could find the problem. The project I redid works perfectly... in 32 .. but still get error cannot find library in 64. Even the test project you uploaded, I copied the redist and license file and same result. I am more than happy to settle for the working 32 bit version. For the most part I program as a hobby and the single user desktop programs I build are for friends and family at, no charge (maybe dinner). So an upgrade from Advantage Database that support stopped in 2015 to Interbase puts a smile on my face. Thanks again Gary

From License.txt included So does this mean that with the included reg_iblite.txt file this is a deployable edition?? 25.9 INTERBASE LITE EDITION Under the InterBase Lite Edition license (“Lite Edition”) included with RAD Studio, Licensee may install the Lite Edition software on any number of mobile and Desktop devices from a single instance of an application built with RAD Studio and running on the same device on which the instance of Lite Edition is executing for use by one concurrent user at any one time. The number of users installing or using the Lite Edition shall be measured as the number of distinct inputs to the multiplexing or connection pooling front end. Licensee may not use multiplexing or connection pooling software or hardware to reduce the number of users directly connected to the Lite Edition software. Licensee's user may not connect to the Lite Edition software via an unrestricted-access Internet application.

@emailx45 I really appreciate the help! It does seem to be a license problem that I don't understand. See here: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/Sydney/en/IBLite_and_IBToGo_Deployment_Licensing especially this: IBLite License All RAD Studio 10.3 Rio editions include a free IBLite license for all platforms as part of the installation. Note: No additional installation or license activation procedures are required. I have a .txt file that works. To make sure I ran the : https://reg.codegear.com/srs6/activation with my Delphi serial# and tried the .txt file from that. I got an error saying not licensed. I don't get that error with the included reg_iblite.txt. Test_Interbase_Lite.zip

True. So with a valid license my problem is the "ibtogo64.dll not found in the path" error. Any ideas?

I posted that as well

@emailx45 From Embarcadero: RAD Studio includes InterBase 2020 ToGo and IBLite editions for embedded application development. Developers can deploy their multi-device applications on Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), macOS (32-bit and 64-bit), iOS (32-bit and 64-bit) or Android (32-bit and 64-bit) devices with an IBLite license, for free. Also, developers using RAD Studio 10.3 Rio Enterprise or Architect editions can deploy their iOS and Android applications with the InterBase ToGo (IBToGo) for Mobile license included. The license I have for Interbase IBLite is a result of the $ I shelled out for my Pro edition. Users that paid for Enterprise or Architect have the same ability with ToGo, so this is the intended use for the license not using a development edition for deployment.

@emailx45 I think it is meant to be a "tease" version. Advantage worked that way for years. It was limited but allowed customers to test drive apps with real data, and even use for a while. Then seamlessly upgrade to client server.
