That's correct - Delphi and RAD Studio are now CodeGear products, and you should go to the www.codegear.com website for support and information. Go to http://www.codegear.com/downloads/regusers and select your product, like Delphi, to get to the registered users page and download your updates. As an alternative, run the "Check for Updates" utility which was installed with your copy of Delphi 2007 for Win32 (at least it should have been), to check for updates. > On the CodeGear site they now mention a version with the same name > as mine but with an R2 after it, which I am assuming means Release 2, That's correct. When CodeGear RAD Studio 2007 was released, they decided to also release a new version of Delphi 2007 for Win32 and C++Builder for Win32, mainly with bug fixes found in Update 3 for the original Delphi 2007 for Win32 and C++Builder for Win32, but also with Blackfish SQL as well as DBX4 extensions such as more meta data support. Nick Hodges has explained this in his Sept 14th 2007, blog post, see http://blogs.codegear.com/nickhodges/2007/09/14/38940 > again no explanation!

I can't find it though. Is this available anywhere? I would run the "Check for Updates" tool, as this may find the December 2007 Update as well as the February 2008 Help Update for you. Groetjes, Bob Swart PS: If you have subscription (what you may call "SA" in the US), you have the right for a free upgrade to R2 already, as well as Delphi 2008 for Win32 when it's released (and stuff from me, but only in the BeNeLux as I can only 'resell' in that region). -- Bob Swart Training & Consultancy (eBob42.com) Forever Loyal to Delphi CodeGear Technology Partner -- CodeGear RAD Studio Reseller (BeNeLux) Delphi Win32 & .NET books on Lulu.com: http://stores.lulu.com/drbob42 Personal courseware + e-mail support http://www.ebob42.com/courseware Blog: http://www.drbob42.com/blog - RSS: http://eBob42.com/weblog.xml __________________________________________________ Delphi-Talk mailing list -> [email protected] http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi-talk
