tOracleDataset is causing problems when I use it in a D5 frame.

Problem 1) If I have ever opened the dataset within the frame in design mode, it must be open when I drop the frame from the component palette onto a form. It is remembering the fields in the query and complains that it can't find the first field (note: I am NOT instantiating any fields using the fields editor). I can delete the "tainted" tOracleDataset and drop a pristine (never active) tOracleDataset onto the frame and it works again.

Problem 2) When opening a project that contains a tainted frame (i.e., it has been activated and was dropped onto the form open), I get the same error (Can't find first field) followed by an access violation creating the form. I have not been able to recover such a form. The unit opens, and I can open the form as text, but I don't know what to surgically remove from the form. This problem has the potential for losing a lot of work. I have been struggling with this problem for several days.
