Delphi 7 help please

[scottyman]

Hi guys,
I've got Delphi 7 personal edition,and am trying to compile source files from delphi 7 professional, how to I ensure that I've got all of the required sources?
It's a bit mad, as I'm trying to work out the exact behaviour of an application designed by a client which seems to be eating connections to MySQL through a third party tool called CoreLab MyDAC 4.40 for Delphi 7

It's quite annoying as it pops up requests for certain compiler components which aren't part of delphi until 7.1 despite the build apparently being done until 7.0

Has anyone any expertise in Delphi?

go to project menu and then options
in the Directories/Conditionals tab
click on the "..." button next to the Search path and add the required file's path here ( .dcu files).

This is for 3rd party class flies only.

depends on the component types , there is also a thing called package. You'll need to open then in delphi and install then that way.

yeah - no he didn't provide everything required for the build.
plus it won't run on XP regardless - it's a bit hopeless and annoying.

mind you i've determined that his code opens a new database connection for every query, but assumes that mysql will close the connections (he's using a 3rd party mysql dac) within a timely period.
awful design
