Problem after upgrading from Trial ODAC to Professional

Post by upsys » Wed 03 Dec 2008 21:02

Hi,

I've been trying out the trial version of ODAC and working nicely.

So I've now paid and downloaded the full professional version and installed it.

Now it no longer works!

If I run my app, it seems to return nothing.

In the IDE, if I double click on the session component, which previously popped up a configuration dialog box, now the Delphi menu flickers a few times between black and grey and Delphi then hangs - I have to kill it from task manager.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing ODAC. (reboot in between of course)
I've tried creating a new Delphi project with just an orasession component - still locks up if I double click on the component.

I'm running Windows XP SP2
Delphi 2007 Win32 Version 11.0.2902.10471 (with Dec 2007 update)
The file I downloaded and installed was odac670d11pro.exe

Any help greatly appreciated as I'm now ground to a halt on an urgent project.

Thanks,

Pete

An update on this problem.

It turns out that my app is working correctly at run-time - it was my finger trouble that led me to believe it wasn't.

However, none of the design time features of ODAC are working.

For example, I can't bring up the TOraSession connection diailog, nor can I set the SQL property of TOraQuery. As a TStrings property, it should pop up a dialog box to let me enter the strings.

In call cases, invoking a design time editor for any ODAC component hangs Delphi. Design time editors for all other components are still fine.

If I set the CommandText property in my Client Dataset and open it, then it works fine as the provider passes the SQL through the to the TOraQuery when it opens it.

So I've managed to get my app running ok with the registered version, but I still can't use any design time features.

Any suggestions from anyone would be most welcome!

(Details of versions I'm running in my original post)

Thanks,

We could not reproduce the problem. Please specify whether you have installed normal or Unicode build of ODAC.

Hi,

Thanks for looking at my problem.

I did specify exactly which file I installed in my original post, here it is again:

I'm running Windows XP SP2
Delphi 2007 Win32 Version 11.0.2902.10471 (with Dec 2007 update)

The file I downloaded and installed was odac670d11pro.exe

How do I tell if this file is the unicode version or not?

I don't remember it giving me a choice of unicode or not at download or install time.

(I thought unicode was only Delphi 2009 - I'm running Delphi 2007 as I stated).

Is this the right place to get support on my paid for product? I was beginning to give up hope of a reply!

Thanks,
