Ok, I found startpath. that works.
Now, a dbgrid with a simple dataset looks fine as an EXE.
However, when moved to a dll and run from a Virtual Windows IIS7 environment,
I get a blank white window in the upperleft corner( proably the server module?), then the data spills out all over a piece of the page..little buttons show up where there should be column titles.
In short: it's a mess.
Is there a simple text based tutorial to explain to a newbie how to do a basic data-driven app.
I'm sure that these problems are related to property settings somewhere but there is no documentation.
Maybe it's too early in the development cycle for someone of my limited talents .
