<div>Thanks Jeremy, does it matter which unit, I placed it in my primary datamodule. </div>
<div>This is what got me thinking I should include the dll, </div>

<div><span><font size="2">"Database applications that use client datasets such as <i>TClientDataSet</i> or dataset providers require you to include midaslib.dcu (for static linking when providing a stand-alone executable); if you are packaging your application (with the executable and any needed DLLs), you need to include
Midas.dll."</font></span></div></blockquote>
<div><span><font size="2">Midas.dll normally lives in the windows / system32 it seems.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2">And re including the BDE in my installs </font></span></div>

<div><span><font size="2">"You should use InstallShield Express (or other certified installation program) for installing the BDE. InstallShield Express creates the necessary registry entries and defines any aliases the application may require."
</font></span></div></blockquote>
<div><span><font size="2">But the distributed InstallShield Express does not have the necessary merge modules readily available. BDE does not even show as a merge module and the appropriate directories are empty! </font>
</span></div>
<div><span><font size="2"> I tried searching Borland for "BDE" but came up with only three or four entries none of them relevent.</font></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I realised last night that this is the first app in D2005 I was trying to deploy that wasn't using MySql or simple text files. Everything else had been maintenece or extension in D4 Pro as some components I have are not D2005 or .pas available.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Amyone had to deploy BDE from D2005?</div>
