Are you bored? Try this: - Close any opened projects in Delphi. - Go to menu Component -> Install Packages... - Uncheck "Borland Interbase Event Alerter Component" - Look at Default checkbox, it is automatically checked, ok? - Click OK - Create a New Application - Go to the Project Manager. Left-click "ProjectGroup1" and select "Add New Project...". Select "Package". Click OK. Now you have a project group composed of a Project and a Package, right? Ok, go to menu Component -> Install Packages... ALEHOP! Magically, that package called "Borland Interbase Event Alerter" is checked again. It seems that the only way of getting rid of this package is by directly removing it. Not a big problem, since it is a little package, but it is annoying anyway. And it only happens in Delphi 7 (no problem with Delphi 5 nor Delphi 6). Bugs are bad, but IMHO the lack of new features is equally bad. Delphi32 used to be an actively worked project, until Delphi 6 (because Delphi 6 and Delphi 7 are the same thing). Borland seems determined to dump its resources on a technology that only interests to ASP.NET developers. What "revolutionary" new features await to us the Win32 developers in Delphi 9? Perhaps an Object Inspector with "XP Style"? If you are continuing this path you should better donate Delphi 7 to the Open Source, and I'm sure that it would be much more actively worked than you are doing now.

I don't think that they are continuing this path. From what I've heard D9 will have a lot of *really* exciting stuff to offer for Win32 development.

If D9 does not offer many improvements and new additions (I'm not talking about any web components and stuff like this I'm currently not using) I won't buy any update or even full version again. -- cu, Michael Back to top Ingvar Nilsen Guest Posted: Wed Aug 25, 2004 12:54 pm    Post subject: Re: Silly bug Tim Anderson wrote: Quote: Suppose you mean "until Delphi 7".
