Beginner Help please!

Hello! i am progamming a comic organizer for a school project, and whenever
i install this program on another computer i always get the error of 'index
is out of date' i've tried recreating the indexes for the database and it
still says this...

and i have another question.. say you have a date field, and the user enters
the date wrong and the program screws up.. is there anyway around this to
error trap this and have the program not quit?

thanks - andrew

1. Have you set LOCAL SHARE to TRUE and NET DIR to the database directory in
the BDE Administrator ?

2. Try to check if the date is valid in the OnSetText event, e.g.:

procedure TForm1.Table1Field1SetText(Sender: TField; const Text: String);
begin
try
Sender.AsDateTime := StrToDateTime(Text);
except
MessageDlg('Invalid date !', mtError, [mbOk], 0);
Sender.FocusControl;
Abort;
end;
end;

Re:Beginner Help please!

How would i do that for a DBEdit.Text box..
i've tried and it says like AsDateTime is an undeclared identifier
