Hi,

Yes there were an entry, and looking at the help desc does talk about the
BDE. I will have this retested ASAP but this sound like it could have been
the problem.

An error message would be appreciated if this single property make the app
rely on BDE.

Thanks

remove the BDE, well delphi may not like this verry much. Funny also is that
the connection fails without any error message at all. Just an empty display
or login that don't work (if loginprompt = true).
