Hello,

I have got a strange problem here and it might be even hard to explain
it, but I do my best:

1) I'm developing a small application, where the user should have the
possibility to create dynamic
database access commands to databases, which are unknown now (e.g. he
should get the possibility to read a field from a table in a
database). So I create an empty udl file and start the MS-Tool with
which it is possible to create an ADO Connection string (I don't know
the english name for it - sorry) using

  AnsiString ADOFileName = "c:\test.udl";

  TCustomFileRun *cfr = new TCustomFileRun(FBSC) ;
  cfr->FileName = ADOFileName;
  cfr->Execute();
  delete cfr;

This works fine so far. As soon as I close the MS Tool the database
connection string is available:

[oledb]
; Everything after this line is an OLE DB initstring
Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Extended
Properties="DSN=Microsoft Access-Datenbank;DBQ=C:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\Georg Nowak\Eigene
Dateien\Studium\Diplomarbeit\Balanced_Scorecard.mdb_old;DefaultDir=C:\Dokumente
und Einstellungen\Test\Eigene
Dateien\Studium\Diplomarbeit;DriverId=25;FIL=MS
Access;MaxBufferSize=2048;PageTimeout=5;UID=admin;"


2) Now my problem: I cannot read this file using   

  AnsiString ADOFileName2 = ADOFileName;
  // AnsiString ADOFileName2 = "c:\test.udl";
  TStringList *sl = new TStringList ();
  sl->LoadFromFile(ADOFileName2);
 
I tried several other ways to read that file (even fopen :( ), but all
with the same result: The string I get is always strange and not what
is in the file, but I can open the file with a Texteditor and it looks
fine !?

I made several test:
1) I copied the string from the udl file to an other udl file and
tried the LoadFromFile from the new file: result: works fine
2) Changing the file name doesn't help at all
3) As soon as ADOFileName is the same for TCustomFileRun and
LoadFromFile it does not work. Once the MS-Tool has written something
in the file, it is not possible to read it with LoadFromFile, fopen or
FileRead.

Any help would be great...

Thanks !
Georg
