Subject BDE _ IBO Conversion question from a newbie
Author Paul Little
Hi all,

I've just downloaded the IBO stuff and bought the getting started guide
and joined this list. I am pretty new to rdb programming (my background
is in 3GL/RT).

I am writing an App in Delphi(5 prof) and was having "a bit of trouble"
with the bde and was pointed in the IBO direction by Helen B (thanks
Helen).

I have one very quick question to start with about the GReplace utility:

In the IBO help file it says that this scans the .pas and .dfm files for
things that need to be replaced. My question is - does it do this
automatically, that is to say scans the files and looks for any
convertable bde components and creates a conversion list (like the one
in the demo) or do you have to set up the list manually which the
utility will then use to check if your files have any of these
componenets? If so how? I've tried running it giving a source and
destination file specs but it returns saying that there is nothing to
convert and I know that this is not true!

TIA
Paul
