Thanks for responding...
I have used TTable which is a subset of TDBDataSet and have included both
DB, DBTables.
The jest of what I am doing is...
Table1: TTable;
Table1 := TTable.Create(self);
Table1.ReadOnly := False;
With Table1 do begin
if State <> dsInactive then
Close;
if FileExists(FDbName) then begin
Table1.TableName := FDbName;
file://where FDBName is the path C:\...\databasename.gdb
try
Open;
ShowMessage('DATABASE OPEN');
except
on EDatabaseError do
ShowMessage('Error in openning')
end;
"It fails in the try..except loop".
****************************************************************************

In the DBE admins, I have in the Database Aliases under the Databases
defined the server name to the same path as in FDbName(above). Does this
point to the the gdb? I couldn't see any other place where I could set a
path to the Aliases in the BDE.
Please comment.
Regards,
Vishnu Kumar
