how can I create table type .dbo using delphi 6 in any directory?

Hello, the only .dbo extnsion I know is the dBASE IV Compiled Program File format. It can be created by using dBase IV and compiling ( a bit like dB3+ with the Clipper compiler & extension library). This produces a pseudo-executable in the .dbo format (a bit like .Net pseudo-executables in CLX format or the like, if I'm not mistaken) Using Delphi to produce such a format... is strange. You may do this by reverse-engineering a sample .dbo file. Or (try to) find the technical specs of the .dbo format, but I think you made a mistake in your question. AFAIK, generating a .dbo file from delphi has no sense. perhaps you meant a .DBF ? (dB3+ datafile) that's a lot easier. As for "creating [any file] in a given directory", it's a matter of either specifyingh the FULL path in the ReWrite() or Append() call, *or* changhing the current working directory before acting on a relative path. There is a ChDir() function in the Filesystem unit IMHO. regards
