Hello,

I don't think it exists any more in 2006. I can create an ActiveX palette by 
creating a component or importing an ActiveX and telling it to go on a 
palette with that name, but I think the old ones have been quietly removed.

I tried importing the various dcl*.bpl files from DBS\4.0\bin, but none of 
them seem to contain the ActiveX controls.

It seems that Delphi7 and BDS2006 are somewhat (very) different when it 
comes to importing ActiveX controls. It was a very straightforward process 
(two or three clicks) in Delphi 7 to find a registered .ocx component and 
add it to a Palette. I have no clue how to do this in DBS2006.

I've tried Component > Import Component > Import ActiveX Control > 
(Highlight regerstered component) > Next  etc.

I have tried every permutation of "Generate Component Wrappers" and "Choose 
to create a unit or add the created unit to an active package" to no avail.

I simply cannot make it show up on an ActiveX palette or any other. (It may 
be on an ActiveX palette but if one exists I can't make it visible).

I've tried to go the package route, but I must be doing something wrong. I 
added it to a new package and it compiled OK, but did not generate a *.bpl 
file so I can't install the package. How do I get a .bpl file?

Obviously packages and components are not my forte. I'm sure it should only 
be a matter of 3 or 4 mouse clicks but I am 'dead in the water'. Any help 
would be hugely appreciated.

David,

   Did you look in your BPL folder for the BPLs?  Mine is:

C:\Documents and Settings\Mark Tiede\My Documents\Borland Studio 
Projects\Bpl
