Andreas>>how can I set the path and db-name not at designtime in the
connection ting but dependent to the installation where the user can choos
where to copy the database in his system. <<

           A simple and easy way, is to use a INI file. then you only have
to change the INI file to direct it anywhere you want.

   AnsiString Buf1;
  TIniFile* pif = new TIniFile("\\Programs/fileloc.ini");
  Buf1 = pif->ReadString("INVOICE", "invoice", "invoice");
  Form1->Invoice->Active=false;
  Form1->Invoice->TableName=Buf1+".dbf";
  Form1->Invoice->IndexName=Buf1+".ndx";
  Form1->Invoice->Active=true;
delete pif.

inifile is something like...

   [INVOICE]
 Invoice=c:/invoice/invoicefiles
