    1. CONow we are renaming xxx.sys to xxx.sys.old before upgrade using renamefile. My question is, is it possible to rename xxx.sys through program always, when we hit DeleteFile failed; code 5 issue.

    2. COThe above registry entry will also work to delete the in use file (as restartreplace would, however I saw no mention on using that command to delete a file) when the computer restarts so that it does not remain in the system as an unused file. As the original poster indicated they are unable to delete the file while it is in use (during the install process), and thus must be deleted after reboot.<BR>

    3. COWith only "restartreplace" the user MUST reboot their system prior to the use the software, the old file will retain it's current name until reboot. By renaming the file during install (using renamefile) and using either (deleteafterinstall) or the registry to delete the old file, the user will not need to reboot to use the software. Both are valid options however.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
