Accessing Access 97 Tables from Delphi3

I have Upgraded to version 5.01 of BDE and have Access 97 installed.

I have set up the Aliases correctly in the BDE administrator, and can view
the information stored in the tables in the Database Desktop.

When I try to set up a TTable component to point to this Alias I receive a
message saying that

"Your application is not enabled for use with this driver"

Can anyone help? I'm pulling my hair out.

Thanks in advance,

Dean Roker

Hi,

This sounds as if you were trying to access the Access Tables using
ODBC with Delphi 3 Standard. This is only supported in the
Professional version (or was it C/S? Don't know).

The solution is to use the native MSACCESS Driver, which will also
work in the Standard edition.

I do not understand why Borland made the decision to restrict the one
and not the other.

Ciao, MM
