Hello, I have recently installed and registered C++ builder CE, my first test program is not behaving correctly. It's a trivial C++ program, the file open fails. There is nothing that I can see that is incorrect, I've coded with files for decades. Any suggestions appreciated. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <conio.h> #include <tchar.h> using namespace std ; ifstream ifs ; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { ifs.open ("C:\\Junk\\testfile.txt") ; if (!ifs.good()) // ** Also tried if (!ifs) { cout << "Can't open input file.\n"; while (!kbhit()) ; return 1 ; } cout << "Opened OK\n" ; ifs.close() ; while (!kbhit()) ; return 0 ; }

I am back from Borland C++ Builder 5, skipped 10 years, and now on Embarcadero C++ Builder 11 PRO. I my have annoying questions with all good intentions of better tools. To the point. Attempting to access PostgreSQL 13 installed on local Windows 10 development box, using FireDAC components with 64 bit VCL Windows desktop project. I am getting error message stating the I need 32 bit version of libpq.dll. I got semi smart and supplied path to 32 bit libpq.dll from older postgres version 10, and all started to work at design time. Unfortunately compiled version trow error that it need 64 bit version of libpq.dll. Is there smart workaround this circle of errors embarcadero put mi in? Hope it is just my 10 years of not using excellent productivity tool. Yes I attempted to access Postgresql 14.1 as well, same issue. That I got running 64 bit application. Is there separate path option for libpq.dll 32bit for design time, and 64 bit for rune time?
