I have a tclientdataset. It is used to get data to and from a csv file. The csv file may not exist until the application is run. I have the following code in a tbutton…

ClientDataSet1->FileName = 'c:\\testdata.csv'; ClientDataSet1->Open();   AddFiles(Edit1->Text);  ClientDataSet1->SaveToFile('c:\\testdata.csv');

When I run the application I get a ‘Missing data providor or data packet’ error. I set the data provider to ‘Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)’ and I still get the error.

What am I missing out or doing wrong? I REALLY don’t want to have to create a dsn or do any manual pre-run work. I want the application to do all that. so I can move it to another computer and it just works.

  1. No answers so I’ll answer and give an update. I have been able to use the clientdata set succesfully. I needed to create it with clientdataset->createdataset().

    But it doesn’t generate a CSV file. It generates some other type of file.

    If I could get it to generate a CSV file that would be ideal but for now I can stick with it working as it does.
