hi!

after installing delphi 6 personal edition i wanted to compile a component
which i had downloaded. it requires VCLDB.DCP. but this file is not where it
is supposed to be in {Delphi6}\Lib.

what did i do wrong?
where can i get this file?

Thanks,
Patrick Brown

You can't use any DB compnonents in the personal edition. You must use the
Pro edition.

If this component has no logical need for database components you can simply
do the following.

1) Open the DPK.
2) Look at the REQUIRES section of the treeview.
3) Right-click the offending package.
4) Remove.
5) Recompile + Install + Save.

Sometimes a package can have a reference to that package by mistake (I have
done it myself).  If the compiler says that the package is required then you
need to look through the .PAS files and look for any units in the USES
clauses that are DB related and then remove them.

You're not using my components are you? :-)

ps, I think this is a technical question.
Maybe component-using or component-writing
