class TDateEdit not found

Thanks guys

Well the guy who wrote all this code must have bought DevExpress at some point so I'll ask around for a username or maybe they're stored somewhere ( all the developers left the company before I arrived and I have minimal programming knowledge :p )

Delphi 5 has Component --> New Component, Install Component, Install Package, Import ActiveX Control

Under Install Component you can Add to new package, I created a DateEditPackage.dpk, added the .pas to it and installed.

I actually still get class TDateEdit not found
I also get TSctReport not found, and there's probably more on different apps.
Is there not a package I can install which contains many common components like these?

Try to install the TDateEdit component again, but not about "Komponents" --> New Component, Install Component, Install Package, Import ActiveX Control.
Choose the first menu from left "Data" click on New and choose the last option More. Then scroll down till you find Package and create a new package. Add the DataEdit.pas to the package, press compile and then install.

I think you will get many more erros, that a component does not exist.
And TSctReport is also not free. For more infos visit: http://www.fast-report.com/de/buy/
I don't think that there is any package which contains all components you need.

I guess you stored the dateedit.pas somewhere outside your library- and browsing-path, so you have to add the containing directory to both (I do not remember the exact menuitem, it has to be somewhere under "Tools - Options - Delphi-Options").

Metallicwar I don't have a data tab on Delphi5...

I had a look on the programming computer which holds the source code and on that PC Delphi has many more tabs and thus components installed.

There is a folder with masses of extra packages, which the old developers presumably paid for and installed.

Although weirdly Delphi says TabdConduit unable to load snyc20.dll & hslog20.dll ?? but still seems to work.

To install these packages on my PC perhaps I need to point Delphi to them somehow? They don't appear to be installed in the Delphi5/bin like others...

thanks
