Hi all, I'm trying to deploy an application that I've created with VdBase7.01 . I followed the instructions of Ken Mayer for the deployment (deployment part of the Tutorial). The application uses the Greek Language driver (dBase ELL GR437 in BDE Admin). The setting is the same for both dBase and INIT part in the configurations tab. I saved the configuration in a new file and then I inserted the: [IDAPI] CONFIGFILE01=myfile.cfg in the application ini file that ships with the application. But: When I run the application it seems that the BDE alias that my applications uses are those of my PC (especially for the path setting) and not those I've inserted in the Install Shield Express Setup Utility. So the application fails when comes to the point of data manipulation (using database, query, rowset, updateset classes..) If i remove the IDAPI section from the ini file at my customers PC everything works OK except from the language driver. I can see the Greek characters only in existing tables but I see only ###### for temporary tables created with UpdateSet objects. So what must I do to solve my problem. Should I put an "LDRIVER=(Internal name for dbase ELL GR437)" line in the [CommandSettings] part of my application's ini file ? It is really confusing because in the Install Shield there are settings for language drivers in the Registry section but it seems that the don't work as they should. I've also noticed that there is a setting for the BDE/IDAPI CNF file in the "Specify Components and Files" part. Is there any conflict with myfile.cfg with this file? What is the purpose of that setting ? Thanks in advance Chris

What is the purpose of that setting ? Look at your own registry settings, and use the instructions in DEPLOY.HTM to set the registry setting for the language driver.
