We're trying to set up a TDatabase in Delphi 5 to allow us to read
MSAccess tables from any .MDB file chosen at run time.
We've managed to get data to appear in a TDBGrid using an alias set up
in Database Desktop. The params I get for that alias, using
Session.GetAliasParams are:
    DATABASE NAME=K:\dev\32\access\grdc97.mdb
    USER NAME=
    OPEN MODE=READ/WRITE
    LANGDRIVER=
    SYSTEM DATABASE=

When I put these parameters into the TDatabase and try to connect I get
the error message "Invalid configuration parameter". I get this even if
I remove the parameters other than DATABASE NAME, remove the space
between DATABASE and NAME, replace the space with underscore, or make
some other pathetic attempts.

Regards,

Mark Patterson
