Had to get a new PC. Put Delphi 2009 on it (can't afford Embarcadero's ridiculous price) and when I try to compile an old project it says the dpr file is missing. It is not missing. The file is there. Any idea what is missing?

I have used Absolute for a long time and find it really easy to use and handle for anything I was doing. They have always responded to questions (few) and I would suggest trying it. Easy to do SQL stuff.

Finally determined the problem. For some reason the location of the files was not in the Library. I tracked down their locations, put them in the Library and things now compile. Thanks for your help in tracking this down.

Here is the error message (DCC Fatal Error) NewXX.dpr(1):F1027 Unit not found:'System.pas' or binary equivalents (.dcu) Not sure what System.pas is.

A long time ago I used the Absolute Database. It was very simple and easy to use. Worked perfectly.

Have you looked at Rave from Nevrona http://www.nevrona.com I have used this report system for decades. Very easy to get a PDF.

I have used Rave for years and the reason is because all my printing (reports) is done by code. I can print anything exactly where I want it to be printed, not where some template wants it.
