Hi,
I am having a little problem with TAdsDataSource and getting :cConnect to
point to my data folder when I create a tAdsDataSouce in CODE.
To test how it should work I made a simple project in the IDE with a
TAdsDataSource and a TDbfDataSet and looked in the form XFM file to see how
the properties are set up.
I was suprised to see the cConnect string.
:cConnect := e".data" <---- I just used .data in the
property editor
Please see the attached 2 images.
The test project does seem to work and allows me to open the dataset.
Is the cConnect string normal?
Regards
Chris Gillard

From xHarbour docs:
Extended Literal Strings:
xHarbour introduces a new kind of literal strings known as "Extended Literal Strings".
Syntax:
E"..."
The literal string may contain Escape Codes following the C language conventions, like:
n -> New Line character.
t -> Tab character.
r -> CR character.
" -> literal <"> character.
' -> literal <'> character.
-> literal <> character.

Hi Ignacio,
Thanks for the reply.
Hmmm .... "Extended Literal Strings" ..... something new to learn!
I see StringToLiteral in my xHarbour docs but not much else at the moment
.... but I will keep looking.
I will ignore what I saw in the xfm for now.
Thanks
Chris
