Subject:        ODBC for Allbase via Delphi 1.0
 
I am just getting connected to my HP3000 with the ODBC driver from HP.
I have version G1.13 loaded on the sever.  I am using Delphi as the front
end to access my Image databases.  So far I have successfully
connected and run an application that shows me the data, but I am
getting an error whenever I try to an update.
 
I have the DefaultIsolation set to RC.  I have run ODBCView on the server
side and my DBEnvironment is all set up.  The error is "Invalid (NULL)
Parameter Default Pointer" I have also tried inserting a record and all the
fields are showing "Required Entry".  If i fill in all the fields and try to
commit, I get the same Pointer Error.

Mark,
 
I've used ODBC with both Delphi 1.0 and 2.0 for an upcoming Interact column without
problems, however, you might first try using an Isolation Level of RR to ensure that
update is working correctly.
 
Then, ensure that rights are granted to the user via ISQL using the GRANT command
(unless, of course, you are the owner, then you should have all rights)
