I have written a small database application that I want to run from a
diskette.  The app works fine from the computer
I wrote it on but when I try to run it from any other computer I receive
the above error when the database is being
opened.  The machines I try to run the application from do not have the DBE
or Delphi installed ( I don't know whether this matters or not )
        I would appreciate any advice on what I may be doing wrong to make this
happen with any possible solutions.

Hello,

you must install also the BDE with your application !!
Try using InstallShield.

Hi,

I don't realy knows, what the $2109 error means, but if you are using
Delphi DB applications on any machine, there MUST BE BDE INSTALED!!!!

  $2109 means:  System Related (fatal error) -- Cannot load IDAPIxx.DLL

I had the same problem and I solved it this way:

Use the InstallShield(-Express), because with this tool it is possible
to include the BDE/ODBC files (with dBASE, Paradox, FoxPro-drivers) that
will be needed on any machine (of course except on your station; there
they are already installed). That secures that all files you don't know
whether they are on another computer will be copied into the
installation.
