Hector,

You also have to download the trial version of the server, in your case
for Delphi 7. The ElevateDB Manager is a tool which connects to a
server (local or C/S) but cannot work without the server application.
You can't connect to a session because the session is created on the
server.

No...it is not possible to use unicode in Delphi 7. Unicode use was not
possible until Delphi 2009.

I hate to tell you but I don't use a server Smiley- I just go local. You need the server if you're working in a client server mode not otherwise.

Roy,

What I meant, and should have written, was that he wouldn't be able to
write a database alone using Delphi 7 without the VCL installation for
Delphi 7.

I work 99% of the time in C/S so I indeed was thinking more along those
lines but my fingers were typing before my brain was engaged. Of course
you are correct regarding local.

Yeah...unfortunately you think I'd have learned my lesson by now.
Engage brain first before engaging fingers...

Hector,

<< 1-how can i create database?(i want to use it for delphi 7)? >>

You can find a tutorial on how to create a local database here:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=edb2sql&topic=Creating_Local_Database

and a C/S database through the ElevateDB Server here:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/manual?action=viewtopic&id=edb2sql&topic=Creating_CS_Database

<< 2-i cant connect to my season it say password is wrong but i am sure i

Please see the tutorial above - if you are using the Default session that is
automatically created for you, then you don't need to enter any password or
modify the session properties at all.

<< I want to build unicode table and use in delphi 7 .this is possible? >>

Unfortunately, no.  Full Unicode support was not available until BDS 2006.
Delphi 7 was missing some important features like TDataSet support for
Unicode memo fields, etc.
