What file should I add to complie the projects

[tokkibunny]

Hi,

I just installed DOA for Delphi 7 and tried to run the demo projects that DOA provided but but these demo projects can't be complied and ([Fatal Error] File not found: 'c:\program files\borland\delphi7\DOA\Oracle.pas') message was showed in the error dialog box. What should I do to fix this problem or is there any file that I should add manually after installing DOA?

thanks,

Emily

My guess is that you are using the Delphi 7 trial version. Its VCL is incompatible with the commercial Delphi 7, and that is what Direct Oracle Access is compiled against. Due to this incompatibility, Delphi is trying to recompile the Direct Oracle Access units.

If you don't have the Direct Oracle Access source files, you need the commercial Delphi 7 version.

Hello,

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, I am using both Delphi 7 trial version and DOA trial version. I am helping my client to launch a new system and somebody suggested me to use DOA to talk to Oracle. I am still trying to decide if we should use DOA instead of BDE. So, what I need is DOA source file and does that mean I have to get the commercial version of DOA in order to get the source file. And, are you saying DOA is not compatible with the Delphi 7 trial version so if I get the Delphi commercial verion, then the problem can be fixed?

Thanks again,
emily

The source files are indeed only available for a registered license. If you have already decided for Delphi 7, then you should pobably purchase Delphi 7 and subsequently evaluate Direct Oracle Access and the BDE.
