I am trying to connect to Oracle8 via ODBC with the Oracle-supplied ODBC
driver.

The SQL-Explorer seems to connect OK, my TDatabase seems to connect OK, but
my application breaks in seemingly non-database related aread with an AV.

Access violation at 0x48cf449 read of address oxfff297e4
83 3A 00 74 63 E8 39 10 00 00 64 8B

I am using WinNT and had heard that Oracle 7 had similar problems - I
disabled the trace stuff by changing the names of the registry entries for
OTRACE73 and OTRACE80 to OTRACE73_DECOMISSIONED AND OTRACE80_DECOMISSIONED
respectively.

This has had no effect. Has anyone else had these problems?

What is "aread"?  What does the call stack show when the AV occurs?  Does
the same problem occur when running the standalone EXE not through the IDE?

No idea what "aread" is, did a search on my sources and didn't turn anything
up.

The call stack resolutely shows nothing when the AV occurs - perhaps I'm
using it wrongly.

The same problem occurs on standalone EXE.

All very odd.

- Ian Sparks.

To make the call stack return meaningful information for this type of error,
you should link the VCL source into your application.  Have you done so?
