Hi, I'm a Delphi developer. Using DAO 3.5 (the engine for MS Access 97 databases) and Wine 0.9.15 or 0.9.9 I've got a trouble: when I launch a query that uses some expressions (ie: "SELECT Format(...) FROM Customers") the query fails, lamenting that the function doesn't exist... (A note that can help: Dao uses VBAR332.DLL or Expsrv.dll module to evaluate expressions) The console log says: ---- fixme:ole:MSFT_ReadValue BSTR length = -1? fixme:ole:MSFT_ReadValue BSTR length = -1? ---- Replacing the builtin OLEAUT32.DLL with the native DLL everything works ok. Is this a known bug or should I post it in the Bugzilla? bye! Paolo This is an extract of the procedure that causes the problem: procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var daodbeng: DAODBEngine; daodb: DAODatabase; daors: DAORecordset; begin try daodbeng:= OpDAO35.CreateEngine; // Crea il DBEngine, e passa internamente la licenza daodb:= daodbeng.OpenDatabase(ChangeFileExt(Application.ExeName, '.mdb'), false, false, ''); // This works under Windows, fails under Wine woth builtin oleaut32.dll: daors:= daodb.OpenRecordset('SELECT Format(#1/1/2000#, "yyyy", 2) FROM TConfig', dbOpenDynaset, _, _); // This always works: //daors:= daodb.OpenRecordset('SELECT * FROM TConfig', dbOpenDynaset, _, _); daors.Free; daodb.Free; daodbeng.Free; ShowMessage('Tutto ok'); except on e: Exception do ShowMessage('Exception: ' + e.ClassName + '; Msg: ' + e.Message); end; end; _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
