Hello again, it worked, beautiful, thanks. It was a bit of a drag as Delphi 7 didn't compile it properly due to the mising vcldb etc from the free version, but Turbo Explorer 2006 to the rescue. It has the missing components and I compiled the *.dpk files with that, I incorrectly said I did it by deleting refs in the files while using D7, I actually used turbo2006, also had to set all the paths in that to the lib and rtl dirs, it was a long day and didn't make all that many notes, I then installed the packages into Delphi 7. Had to make sure a pile of paths were in the right places, one step at a time. I'm here now, big smile on my face too. Thank you. Kevin. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
