Well, it worked. I used a name of Personal (it wouldn't take Private as it said it was a reserved word) and I was able to add my components. I still don't understand why I wasn't able to use the default dbk file that Borland supplied, but right now I am just happy to be able to use my components! Thanks Sperling!<br />

I'm not yest sure of how this package concept works exactly, so I can't tell you why.<br />
<br />
BTW. I do in fact use private, but in norwegian (=Privat)... Should have thought of that one ;)<br />

When attempting to add a new component to D3, the Install Component forces me to use a file with a *.dpk extension which apparantly is the package source file. When the dialog box pops up, I point it to the *.pas file for the component and select the compile and then install button. It looks like it compiles, but nothing shows up on my component palette. If I try to install the design package, it forces me to select a *.dpl file and there is none with the name associated with the *.dpk file. Thus, I can't get any of my or 3rd party components to install so I can use them. Very frustrating!
