Hi
I get the error in 10.4 (I was not getting in 10.2). I put "Vcl.dbgrids" in Unit scope name, but it did not solve the problem.
Anybody knows what else am I missing?
Thanks
good news:
same that you dont have BDE installer, stay knowing that RAD 10.4 CAN access Paradox or others by ODBC driver!
then, you dont really need have BDE installed in your machine!
in fact, BDE installer just installs the binary files to administrate your file-datas, or be, itself is not necessary for access Paradox tables for example!
like if when you install Firebird, Interbase (whatever) binarys
the RAD Studio until have "dclbde.dcp" in your default installation!
for access your old-datas-files like Paradox, for example: (NOT NEEDS BDE AT ALL)
in DataExplorer window (right side of your screen), in FireDAC connection, select "ODBC Data Source" ---> it normally is "empty"
right-click and create a "NEW CONNECTION", give a name
now, the FireDAC Connection appears, use the "Wizard" to create a new "DSN" with the definitions about your database (or folder where the files is in
choice create a new DSN
choice the drivers referent to data-files, for example: Driver for Microsoft for Paradox (*.db)
in save, choice save this file DSN in same folder than your project, for easy access .. ok until "conclude"
all done, you came back to FireDAC Connection, then, just test the connection: click Test button
it's done!
now, you can use a FDTable or FDQuery to access your tables
Happy end! No needs BDE itself for access old data-files, Paradox, DBase, Excell, etc..
NOTE: any component that use FDConnection, in this case, can be used! not needs be FDTable or FDQuery!
