<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 class=para><FONT size=2>"Database applications that use client

include midaslib.dcu (for static linking when providing a stand-alone

Midas.dll."</FONT></SPAN></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<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>
