Xailer & OZ Software

I am new to Xailer but find it very likable. I am, however, having trouble
accessing the Advantage Database Server.
When I first tried the Advantage functions from xHarbour,com, they were not
there.
I then tried the TAdsDataSource and got a list of long list of unresolved
externals like
_HB_FUN_ADSLOCKING
_HB_FUN_ADSWRITELALLRECORDS
down to _HB_FUN_ADSKEYCOUNT
They are all called from XAILER.LIB|AdsDataSource.
I have the Advantage Server running and can access it from Clipper, Delphi
and straight xHarbour.
I suspect that I am missing some library referene. Can anyone help me?
Mike Draper

Mike,
See our FAQ on www.xailer.com
By default the ADS libraries are not linked. You must explicity include
them, to do so just include to the project as any other file the libraries
ads32.lib (Impdef of Ads32.dll) and Rddads.lib from xharbour contribution
directory.
Regards,

How do I add libraries?
When I select 'Project' / 'Properties' / 'Libraries' I see the Xailer.lib
but the'Add' button is not enabled.
Is there some other way to add libraries?

Mike,
just add the libs to the project as you would add other files like .prg
or .ch by clicking on the + icon in the toolbar or by doing the command
project | add files to project.

Ok, I can add libraries.
Where then do I find the Advantage Libraries?
There is no reference in the xHarbour stuff I got from Xailer and the
libraries from xHarbour.com are not in the correct format.
I guess I need the Advantage libriaies in Borland format for Xailer.

You need 2 libraries:
- Ace32.lib which is an import library from Ace32.dll. You can use the
Implib.exe tool from BCC.
- RddAds.lib which should be at xharbourlib or xharbourcontribrddads.
If not, I'll send it to you.

Jose
Thanks for you help.
I copied IMPLIB.EXE from BBC and ACE32.DLL from Xailerbin into a folder.
implib ace32.lib ace32.dll
I got the wessage "Error - Unable to open file"
On the RDDADS front. There is a file RDDADS in the CONTRIB folder, but it
is really RDDADS.CH.
I would appreciate if you could send me these file

Perhaps it's in use, and implib.exe cannot open it. Close all programs that
use it and try again.

Ok. I'm going to send it to you.
