G'Day All, I have a developer with the following problem: His Env: NT4 WKS SP5 Delphi 5.0 Enterprisewith Patch #1 MDAC 2.50.4403.12 SQL7 Desktop Edition SP2 Order of installation (In case that broke MDAC in some way) - D5 - D5 Patch - M$'s MDAC 2.50.4403.12 install - SQL7 - SQL7 SP2 To recreate the problem he does the following: (Essentially this means he can not develop at all) 1. Reboot 2. Load Delphi with dummy project with breakpoint 3. Run this project. Brekpoints fine. 4. Canel and reopen existing project with ADO components. This loads OK, can see ADO components 5. "Build " compiles and links OK 6. Run (there is a breakpoint) gives "bordbk50.dll not present or registered" 7. reopen dummy project Above, run it and it breakpoints fine. 8. Reopen existing project with ADO components and get "Error creating Object: ...data access components..." cancel and get message warning me to install MDAC 2.1 or greater. Anybody got any pointers for me? TIA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --Donovan Donovan J.
