Sorry to be dense here, but I can't get the Contact sample to work
with BCB5(/V4.2Ha/WinXP). What I've tried so-far is:

1/ Delete the references to IBO_C3.LIB from Contact.bpr LIBRARIES &
SPARELIBS sections. This eliminates the error about IBO_C3.LIB, but
now I get a linker error "Unable to open file 'FILECTRL.OBJ'.

2/ So I added the line
USEPACKAGE("..\..\Lib\Release\vclx50.bpi");
to Contact.cpp, but to no effect.

Is there anything else I could try?

Thanks,
Steve
