Hi,

I'm using the latest IBDac in a project which uses a plugin system (from Jedi project).
The main application includes a datamodule which carries TIBCConnection and TIBCQuery (the uses clause includes IBC) and does not uses packages.

This main app loads (via the Jedi plugin system) a package file on startup which also includes a datamodule with many TIBCQueries. Of course the uses clause of the datamodules need IBC, too.

When loading this plugin I get this error: 'A class named TIBCArrayField already exists.' and the loading terminates.

I guess this is due to the fact that the main application and the plugin package include the IBC unit which both try to register this class.

How should I go on to get rid of this error. Can I change the coding in IBC.pas to first check if the class TIBCArrayField has been registered already or can you suggest an alternate solution?

cu,
Michael

I've now added the package ibdac100.bpl (using Turbo Delphi) to the package list of the main application and now this works.

I guess there isn't a better solution to get rid of this class error, correct?

Probably the initialization section of IBC unit is executed twice. This is a critical error, and IBDAC should not work in this case.

So, I think you should use your solution to avoid the error.
