For completeness. This project only runs on Paradox 5 structure tables and not Paradox 7 which is where I am headed. Does anyone know a fix for this ? Do we need a odbcjt32.dll for Paradox 7 ? If so where can one find it ? Or is there another work around ? Does this file (odbcjt32.dll) need to be in c:\windows\system32 or c:\windows\WinSxS ?

Somebody gave me a two part solution. Half of which was kindly mentioned here, so thankyou. To reiterate. A) turn off CONNECTION object property "CONNECTED" to FALSE B) This part, which nobody here mentioned, sorry, was to add code to the Datamodule's "ONCREATE EVENT" such as.. FDac_Con1.Connected := True; fdqry1.Active := True; I am a newbie, with wrinkled skin..... Have a NICE DAY and please forgive my ineptness.

Actually, if you read the post both messages are there in black and white... Not, the help I was looking for ... actually what you meant to say was run-time errors. Compile-time and design-time are take to be the same thing.

I noticed that he used Delphi 10 in the book. The Chapter 2, example on Paradox and FireDAC does not seem to run correctly in Delphi 11 on win 10 Home. Edition At least it shows it is possible. But, if smart people can barely do this stuff it is virtually impossible for neophytes such as myself.

Yes, I know but the main issue remains... the errors during compile

Somebody from Embarcadero kindly wrote me an app to do that. I put about 900 images (jpeg )

Hello, I was wondering if Nils is OK after 2009 accident falling off a horse and having a stroke ? I was also wondering if anyone has had any success running his SimLib (NativeJPG / NativeXml on Delphi 11) namely the "XmlTest" Demo project.... I did get one of the demos working "Viewer32" When I run I sincerely hope he is well. Kind regards Richard from Down Under.

HELLO, HERE IS ANOTHER PROJECT https://gitlab.com/liuhouer/PhotoBook THAT WOULD BE NICE IF IT RAN ON DELPHI ALEXANDRIA IT HAS 3 ERRORS ON COMPILE ################################################################################### function DeflateInit2_(ZState: TZState; Level: Integer; imMethod: Byte; AWindowBits: Integer; MemLevel: Integer; Strategy: Integer; const Version: String; StreamSize: Integer): Integer; // initializes the hash table (Previous[] will be initialized on the fly) var S: PDeflateState; NoHeader: Integer; Overlay: PWordArray; // We overlay PendingBuffer and DistanceBuffer + LiteralBuffer. This works since the average // output size for (length, distance) codes is <= 24 Bits. begin NoHeader := 0; if (Version = '') or (Version[1] <> ZLIB_VERSION[1] ) or (StreamSize <> SizeOf(ZState)) then ################################################################################### ERROR MESSAGE [dcc32 Error] MZLib.pas(2004): E2015 Operator not applicable to this operand type ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED RICHARD_C

HELLO TO ONE AND ALL... FOR THOSE THAT HAVE THE INCLINATION CAN WE FORM A 'CIRCLE' TO NUT OUT HOW TO RESURRECT MWA DB JPEG COMPONENT LIBRARY V1.8 FROM DELPHI 5 TO DELPHI ALEXANDRIA. [ I ALSO HAVE D2010 ENT. BUT NEVER REALLY USED IT ] WHY ? BECAUSE ONCE THE MS ACCESS DATABASE IS FORMED YOU CAN USE IT TO LOAD 100-1000 IMAGES IN A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME. WHAT HAVE I DONE SO FAR ? I HAVE MANAGED TO USED DELPHI 5 ENTERPRISE AND MWA DB JPEG WITH A SPECIAL "LOAD DB" WHICH THE AUTHOR OF MWA JPEG , TONY WHYMAN, MADE FOR ME MANY MANY MOONS AGO ~2002. THE PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR PARADOX 7 [ WITH MWA JPEG COMPONENTS] SO IT HAD TABLES WHICH DELPHI ALEXANDRIA NO LONGER USES, SO ADO OR SOMETHING ELSE IS PROBABLY THE WA\Y TO GO.. BUT, I HAVE FIDDLED AND GOT AN EXE USING ACCDB WORKING. ON DELPHI 5 ON XP COMPUTER. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE EXE PROGRAM IS THAT THE LAST JPEG IS ENTERED AS THE FIRST ENTRY IN THE DATABASE. I AM NOT SURE WHY THAT IS. ANYWAY I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS 'FEATURE' AT MY FINGERTIPS IN DELPHI ALEXANDRIA ON WIN 10 HOME EDITION 64BIT - TO WORK ON AN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SCRIPT PROJECT LATER AND OTHER LANGUAGE STUFF. I HAVE A ~MONTH TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE MY GOVT TRIES TO FRY MY BRAIN. 6TH MAY 2022 IS THE HEARING DATE. I HAVE COME ACROSS SOME INTERESTING STUFF JEDI VCL - I do recommend to create restore point before loading JEDI STUFF as it is virtually impossible to uninstall if something goes wrong. unRXLIB 4 - I think this fellow lives in Ukraine. I made a PDF for installing it. NativeXML - XMLeditor demo looked interesting not sure if I got it working ... one of the PAS files was missing. NativeJpeg - I got the viewer demo working after playing around with it. GR32 - linked to NativeXML project I think ZLib - linked to NativeXML project I think Deleaker - might need some evolution to suggest fixes for leaks ... still in its early stages FastMM5 - nice work 15 % faster apparently Penganza Analyzer I think this acts like a USES wizard not sure about that. Revo Uninstaller is good for reloading Delphi as its uninstaller is below PAR IMHO Paradox Data Editor was OK to convert paradox to MS access RAD & INSTALLER SOMETHING ON HUFFMAN TREE - PROGRAMMING REDUCTIONISM/ INFORMATION COMPRESSION WHERE ENTROPY IS USED AS A METRIC FOR EFFICIENCY WHERE EFFICIENCY = ENTROPY [h] IN BITS / LENGTH IN BITS CHEERS RICHARD C

Hi Stano, I changed delphi 5 project from ADOTable to ADOQUERY with order by 'subject' field the sql string was a bit tricky but I eventually got it sorted. now it starts from first image. Just have to learn how to Migrate from D5 to Alexandria cheers Richard C

I remmed out some code and it compiled SUE ME have a nice day to all the 'Bruce Lee' Programmers... the real ones that do like to help others...

Hi Stano, BLOB field in accdb. I like the fact that the old "Load DB" project can add ~ 1000 jpeg files by selecting a whole folder of jpeg files and then the program recursively adds them all to the accdb DATABASE in a few seconds. I asked Embarcadero for a demo that does this and they were unwilling to help. It is like being so close ... yet so far. Normally, I buy components and ask people to help me write the necessary code. Tony Whyman who kindly helped me so many years ago is busy working on other projects like Lazarus.

Hello Stano, I will double check the reference to "ORDER BY' IN AN ADO QUERY- I know about that but thanks. The main question is migration from Delphi 5 to Delphi 11 [290] Alexandria UNLESS OF COURSE THERE IS AN EASIER WAY USING DELPHI ALEXANDRIA DBIMAGE VISUAL COMPONENTS, AS A WORK-A-ROUND SOLUTION FOR BULK LOADING DATABASE WITH A FOLDER FULL OF JPEGS.

Hello Ondrej, Has there been any new work on Jedi Uses WIZARD ? How do you use it exactly ? I tried compiling it (D11 JEDI 2.8 and 3.5) but it mentioned something about first getting a DOC-O-MATIC filename.... What does that entail ?
