add programmatically a New persistant alias in Bde configuration file

Hi Bill,

I have a problem to add a New persistant alias in Bde configuration file.

Here is operations I do :

At first initialise bde environment :

dbiInit (Nil);

After :

ErrBde := DbiAddAlias (Nil, PAlias, szDBASE, PDir, True);

PAlias content is the name of the new alias.
PDir content the directory of the new alias.

After execution of that function, I can see the new alias in the list of
aliases with the bde administrator tool (bdeadmin.exe).

After : clear bde environment :

DbiExit;

After execution of that function, I can't see the new alias with the bde
administrator tool (bdeadmin.exe).

Is it why the property sesCFGUPDATE is not set to ON ?
If it's right, how to set it to ON ?

Could you help me ?

Thanks for advance

Hi,
I think, sesCFGUPDATE is set to ON by default, but function to modify props
is :

DbiSetProp (hObj, iProp, iPropValue),
wher hObj is your session-object.

Re:add programmatically a New persistant alias in Bde configuration file

Hi, I've tested a simple example, it works well :

hDBISes hSes;
DbiStartSession("testsession", hSes, "c:\"");
res = DbiSetProp (hSes, sesCFGUPDATE, true);

res = DbiAddAlias(NULL, "TESTALIAS", "Paradox","TESTPATH", TRUE);

Bye
