Hello Marc,


Have a look at your IBConnection.
Is there anything entered in the ALIASNAME property?

If so, remove it and your app will run fine.
If there's an alias entered (BDE-Alias) IBO will try to fetch some
information.
Unfortunately if the BDE isn't installed your app won't run anymore and
you get errors like: "Can't append to file ...." or sth. like that.

I'm not sure what this property is really good for, but we encountered a
problem with it and it took us pretty lots of time to find the error
(and of course noone remembered ever having entered something in
there...*g*)
