Working with DBF files.

Post by FCS » Fri 03 May 2013 11:18

Hello,

I put on the DataModule components UniConnection, DBFUniProvider and UniTable.
I set UniConnection.ProviderName to DBF
I set UniConnection.DataBsse to full path to my DBF files
I set UniConnection.Connected to true.

I set UniTable.Connection to UniConnection.
And now, when I click on UniTable.TableName there are no tables listed on this control. I can manually write table name and set the UniTable.Active to true - it works.

Why the UniTable.TableName list is empty ?
Should I do something else or in different way ?

Regards
Michal

Hello,

To work with DBF, we use the standard DBF ODBC driver, to get information about tables, the standard SQLtables API method is used, for this database this method does not return the result so we cannot get the list of tables. For detailed information, please turn to the driver's developer.
