hi there! i am developing an application in Delphi 6.i set the connection String in design time to a local database. when i take the application to other machine it does not run.i found out that i looks for the path i set in my machine and it does not find it. so i need to connect to the database at run time... need some code! i am Using ADOTable.

Thanx in advance

The last thing I do before my final build is to de-activate all my connections - I've had that same problem many times.

I handle the runtime aspect in one of three ways:
1) I have the connection string in an .ini file
2) I have the connection string in the registry
3) I pass part or all of the connection string as a command line parameter.

I have my tables, datasets, connections, etc. in a datamodule. In the .OnCreate event of the datamodule is where I get the connection string and assign it.

Good luck,
