C/Front and Delphi

Has anyone try to connect to Navision Database from Delphi using C/Front ? I have installed the CFront.ocx into Delphi. I’m connecting to Database with cFront.Opendatabase function but I cannot open a Company with cFront.OpenCompany function. After this call cFront.companyname is always blank. Any ideas about this ?

There was/is an attempt to create an interface to the cfront.dll for Delphi over at Mibuso. I haven’t had much success - I’m not a good enough C programmer to be able to write the unit for interfacing C/Front. [:(] Djangman
