I'm having a weird problem with a Delphi 7 app that was converted from D5 to
use ADO.

The app works fine on my development machine and a second laptop - both have
Access 97, Access 2000, and Access XP installed.

I'm also using client data sets(only for in memory tables - no communication
to a server) with the latest midas.dll from D7.

When I copy the app and its related Access mdb's to a laptop running XP the
app starts up and shows a log on dialog form. Then within a second or two
the logon form disappears, no error message, no sign in the windows tasks??

It just silently crashes with out an error message or any sign????????

I coded a simple form with just a data grid and it displays the grid and
data correctly. So it seems Access XP and Win XP are not the problem???

The midas client data sets are not used until after the log on form is
processed, so at the start up I can not see midas as a problem. I tried the
latest version of the midas dll and the prior version from D5(with reboots
and dll registration in between) with the same results.

Is Windows XP Pro required with Midas and client data sets???

Anyone have any ideas????

Thanks,

Austin
