Hi there,

I'm a student trying to use CppB3 to design transformers.

I created tables containing the data I need in Excel and saved it as both
.TXT and .CSV files.
"
k17    23.4    5.67    768
u21    45.3    6.78    544
"
I place a TTable component on the form and change the DatabaseName property
to path for the data file.
"C:\Data"
In the table name I put the filename "Coredata.csv" and I changed the
TableType property to ttASCII.
According to the help file this will tell C to expect a comma-delimited text
file.
However when I link this to a DBGrid component with the Datasource I get a
table looking like this:

Field0                          "blank"     "blank" ......
[k17,23.4,5.67,768]

All of my row's data is placed in one column.

Playing around with FieldDefs and Index properties has not helped me at all.
Nor can I specify the name for the field "FIELD0" or add more fieldnames I
don't get any visual info.
A DBEditBox does the same.

I can however scroll through the rows with a navigationbar.

Please, someone help me cause I need to complete this project ASAP.

Hi,
BDE creates for ASCII tables also file .sch,
which has information about structure.
Here is example:

[COUNTRY]
Filetype=Fixed
CharSet=ascii
Field1=Name,Char,24,00,00
Field2=Capital,Char,24,00,24
