application builder with Data Base

[hardybruno]

Hello

I have made a application with the Data Base Connectivity Toolkit.
The application runs well in the developement. But after making a exe file i get the error that the data base is not present.
Did i make a error by the compilation?
Wich files has to be included?

I wonder that this will not work, because it runs on the same machine.

Anyone who can help?

Thanks

Hi Gerhard

This sounds like some paths were incorrect or any ODBC-Connections are not set up correctly.

About the files you have to include for compilation have a look at the user manual of the database connectivity toolset.

Many thanks.

That was the problem. I used the function actual path of the vi. reduced it by one and appended the config file where the info of the database is stored.
In general this function is bad, because it works not in the same way when running under developement or runtime.

Has anybody a general solution for this problem?


Thanks a lot.

I once made a simple vi, which gives back the path of the application running and the type.

There you can decide if you are in the development environment or in a compiled application.

Hope it helps.
