The compiled executable works just fine. It is the design time file that has 
a problem. It is looking for A406_D40.bpl. It was not in the Delphi BIN 
folder, where all the other BPL files are, but putting a copy there does not 
help

Nope. Not a one.

No, my programs are all stand alone. It is the Borland IDE that has a 
problem. The strange thing is this:

(1) With Delphi running, I select Components | Install Packages. The Asynch 
Pro design time package appears in the list, but when I check the box it 
says it can't find the file. although I know it is there, in the path given.
(2) I select Install Component. The Asynch run time and design time 
components are in the selection box. But the unit file name is blank, and it 
wants something there. It defaults to PAS files but it will accept a DCU. I 
am assuming it is the design time package so I select A406_D40.DCU. But it 
tries to load it into the editor, and truncates a line.
(3) But if I select the A406_R40.DCU, it just shows the package manager. But 
now I can select Install Packages, and when I check the box, the components 
appear and all is OK until the next time I start Delphi.

I'm about done with this, but I'd like to know what's going on. Maybe if I 
reinstall from the original CD it may give me an option to repair the 
program? Will it keep my installed components and preferences and settings, 
and the upgrade patches?

Thanks,

Paul
