Manualy converting from BDE (Migration Wizard Bugs)

Post by nasirnoor » Wed 04 Jun 2008 20:29

I am using Delphi 5 with ODAC version 5.70.0.28.

When I run the BDE Migration Wizard, it seems to run successfuly, but upon closer inspection, I find serious errors. For examples, in one of my units, it deletes all references to two variables (declaration and usage in the code!) named FMinDate and FMaxDate. This level of code changes don't leave me any choice but to stop trusting the Wizard.

Is it a known bug?

In the meantime, could you please detail the step required to manualy move off an application from BDE to ODAC? It used be listed on your website, but I can't find it any more.

thanks much.

We have never faced with such bug. Please send the unit that is converted incorrectly to odac*crlab*com.

To convert your application manually, just replace BDE components with corresponding ODAC components in your application.
