Error Reading Form Class: TEdit not found. Ignore the error and continue?

Hi,
I am using Delphi 5 and am trying to modify an existing piece of code. When trying to open a class in the form view I am receiving this error:
Error Reading Form Class: TEdit not found. Ignore the error and continue?

Obviously TEdit was once in this project, so where is TEdit and how do I reinclude it into the project?
Thank you

Verify if in the uses clause has StdCtrls

It's friday afternoon here, so I could be lost with this, but I recognize that error from when I try to open a project where the components used on the form is not registered in my IDE... So It seems to me that your Delphi 5 installation is missing the TEdit class in it's list of registered vcl components??

So... is the TEdit available on your component tab?

Hi Hypo,
No it's not on th ecomponent tab. That's exactly what has happened - I'm not sure how or when but it's no longer there... I'm not savi enough with the IDE to find it...

Hi thiagoblimeira,
Yes StdCtrls is in the Uses clause.

hey i already had this problem... i don't remember what o did...

first check all your TEdits component if someone has a blank name...
else, i think the best thing is uninstall and then reinstall the Delphi app
anyway i hope there is another and easy way!
