Re:Finding the path of a database


TDAtabase.Session.GetAliasParams();

i.e

MyStringList := TStringList.Create;
try
  Session.GetAliasParams('DBDEMOS',MyStringList);
  { fill a list box with driver names for the user to select from }
  ListBox1.Items := MyStringList;
finally
  MyStringList.Free;
end;
