Hi Geoff,

I should have started my previous request by stating that I am using
IBO4.0 and Delphi v5 enterprise.

I am unable to find the files you mentioned I searched for IBO40*.*
but nothing was returned. I did find ibo_d5.dpk which seemed to
contain all the required components and the installation was
proceeding quite well until I received the following error
message "Cannot load package IBO_D5 it contains unit 'customeditutil'
which is also contained in package 'dclusr50'.

I hope you can through some light on this for me.

Thank you

John Hart
