D2007. ElevateDB1.04build4.

I installed 104b4edbvcltriald2007.exe and 104b4edbadd.exe with no problems.
I created the "Local Application Tutorial" from edb1d2007.pdf with no
problems.  However when I try to build/compile it I get the "F1026 File not
found: 'edbcomps.dcu'" error.  Checking Tools/Options/Delphi
Options/Library-Win32/Library path: it looks like the path is correct:

M:\prg\cg\ElevateDB VCL Trial\Version 1\Delphi 2007\code

'edbcomps.dcu' does exist at that path.

What am I missing?

Hi Shawn,

Try adding the same path to your project's search path i.e.

Project | Options | Directories/Conditionals | Search path

This is not necessary with the full version, but may fix your problem.

Thanks Steve.  That workaround works.

FYI: I now get a series of compiler warnings:

Hi Shawn,

The warnings are nothing to worry about. All the PS.. methods have been
replaced with a WideString equivalent i.e. 'PSGetQuoteCharW' in edbcomps.pas
release version.

Good luck and welcome to ElevateDB, .. brilliant product, excellent support
and second to none community!

Shawn,

That is correct.  Did you try moving the path up further in the list of path
names ?  I've found that there can be some issues with the path ordering
sometimes, but I can't figure out why yet.  I've seen a similar issue when
compiling something that uses DBISAM and ElevateDB both at the same time -
for some reason the compiler wants the ElevateDB path listed before the
DBISAM path.

FIY Tim: This was a fresh install of D2007 and ElevateBD was the only
addition.

I thought I would try to help fault isolate this so I removed the path
reference from Projects | Options as was suggested (to "fix" the problem) by
Mr. Forbes and duplicated the error.  Then from Tools | Options | Delphi
Options | Library Path I moved the ElevateDB reference to the top and the
problem went away.  Then one-by-one I moved it down to the bottom, which is
where the ElevateDB Installer placed it and the problem would not return
So I'm not sure what the peculiars are for this problem.  I just wanted you
guys to know that a completely stock, clean install had this problem with
the demo build/install.

Another newbie question if I may: What would be a good resouce to learn how
to design with and implement the functionality that is included in
ElevateBD?  I'm thinking the pros and cons of when to use Views and
StoredProcs vs Queries vs Table Filters and things like that.  A nice simple
SQL 101 type tutorial that addresses the SQL inplementation ElevateDB uses
would be nice also.

Shawn,

I understand, but the problem is not related to the installer - it's got
something to do with Delphi and the IDE.  I'm not sure what is causing it,
but it is a weird one.

It all depends upon what you're needs are.  What you're asking for is simply
too general to be of any use to anyone because it would comprise several
hundred pages and be the equivalent to many books that are already available
on the SQL standard and SQL in general.  As always, we suggest that you
start at the beginning of the ElevateDB manual and read through all
non-reference sections, especially the Getting Started sections:

http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb1sql_getting_started.htm
http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb1d7_getting_started.htm
http://www.elevatesoft.com/edb1d7_using_elevatedb.htm

If you have any specific questions regarding your situation and how you
intend to use ElevateDB, I'll be more than happy to answer them.
