Hi All,
   I'm new to Delphi 2.0 and so far it seems wonderful. I have had
some previous Turbo Pascal experience but had since moved to
C++ and found the learning curve to high for Windows development.
Anyways, I am reading the 'Teach yourself Delphi 2.0 in 21 days"
book from Osier, Grobman and Batson. So far it has been a good
read and I enjoy their humor. On the other hand it is plagued with
typos not only in the code but in the text.

For my problem, on pg. 151 they show the Object Reposity Options
screen. If I click on TOOLS | REPOSITORY, I get another screen
that has the title "Object Repository". It looks completely different
from the screen shot in that it has no tabs on the optoions you
can choose. I checked the Online Help and have not found the way to
see the Options screen. I am using the developer edition of Delphi
if that makes a difference.

So, did Borland change the looks of the screen last minute or am I
missing something.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Go to Sams home page and you can download the source code (errors
corrected).

The reason why the screen looks different in the book is because it
was a last minute change in Delphi.  Although I've never read the
book, these screen shots were probably taken from the beta.  They used
the beta because if they waited for the official release, the book
would probably be released next month.

There are probably some differences in the main menu as well.  They
may also have avoided some other important topics because most of the
betas had some significant bugs in some of the new features.

There are very few differences between the three versions of Delphi
v2.0.  Most of the differences are in the tools (SQL Links, ODBC, etc)
and in the number of components provided.
