Thanks Richard I had hoped you might have known more / been able to find out about it. I have already been to borland.com, which I find hard to find information on anything.
I downloaded the app required to search Quality Central and bde isn't even a product. I searched and found some issues related to bde but the only search that returned any results was 'bde' so I would be forced to step through every fault currently reported 1 by 1. No thanks! I have now searched further and found it is a fault right through to BDE 5.2. Stunning ! ( it seems so simple to fix, want to send me the source :) ).
