Deployment problem

Hi all,
we have a little problem with client deployment / database connection.
The application has DBX MS SQL driver (dbxsda320) under D7.

On some computers (mostly XP 2002) applications connect to server OK (only dbexpsda.dll library is added on the computer).

On some computers (mostly XP 2002 too) applications cannot connect to server (at the moment I cannot say what exact exception type is raised, but we will catch it). We have suspect that any other library (from Microsoft?) is needed for DBX...

As connection we have TSQLConnection with parameters described on your pages (dbexpsda.dll, sqloledb.dll...). Can you confirm what other libraries are needed for that configuration (or any other idea...)?

Thanks, J.

An application using DbxSda requires the the OLE DB provider to be installed on the target computer. It is already included in Windows 2000 and higher. If you have encountered a problem with the OLE DB client, you can try to download and install Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) at http://www.microsoft.com/data

Thanks for your response,
it seems the problem was in connection string - on some computers was accepted without server name (in HostName parameter) but on others was server name required.
