DELPHI 5 ODAC TRIAL VERSION - IS IT SOURCE CODE

[nigellong]

Hi -

Just downloaded the trial version of the Delphi5 ODAC with a view to purchase it if it allows us to compile some 3rd-party legacy Delphi5 source-code we've just obtained that didn't include ODAC.

My question is: does the trial version of the Delphi5 ODAC include the source code?

The vendor for the Delphi5 prject tells us:

"If a source code version [of ODAC] was used, then the missing .bpl files should be in “C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi5\Components\odac\Source\Delphi5\ "

Well, I don't seem to have a Delphi5 folder within the Source folder...and certainly not some .bpl files - all that is in the Source folder is a ConnectForm.pas file. This seems to imply that the trial version doesn't include Source Code... or do I need to do something (this is new to me and the vendor's instructions are pretty minimal)?

Can anyone confirm / deny that the trial version contains Source Code?

Obviously, we just wanted to try this out and check it worked before we paid for anything.

Many thanks, Nigel

Hello,

The sources are not included in the trial version. To get access to the ODAC sources, you should purchase ODAC Professional Edition with source code.

is there a component package available for Delphi5 ?
Even an old install ? I cannot find it.

Also where are the demo programs for new Delphi users ?
