1. I'm not a BCB user - but is there a BCBDCC40.dll in the Builder 3 Pro
package?

2. It was I who rebuilt the version 3.7b package, to fix some errors in
some of the Delphi DPK files and a couple of the units. Looking at the
sources now, I see that I didn't update the version info in
IB_Constants.pas. This block (near the top of the unit) currently shows:

// Version information
IB_VERSION_MAJOR = '3';
IB_VERSION_MINOR = '7';
IB_VERSION_BUILD = 'A';
IB_VERSION_SUB_RELEASE = '';

Try changing IB_VERSION_BUILD = 'A'; to IB_VERSION_BUILD = 'B';

I don't know why this would help, though.

The kit installs fine in Delphi 4 and 5 so this is apparently something to
do with BCB 3 - possibly something that needed to be updated in the
IBO_C3.bpk file, which has not changed since December 2000; or perhaps a
version of a BCB library that differs between the Pro and Client/Server
editions of Builder 3.

I hope Geoff or Lester will spot your message and provide some input.
