Connecting your DADE pipelines to an Advantage database is identical to connecting to most any other DB. You will simply place a TADSConnection object on a form and connect it to your DB, then after adding the Advantage plugin to your uses clause (daAdvantage), you will be able to create and edit queries in DADE at runtime using the designer.
For instructions on how to register the daAdvantage plugin at design time or to use it with the report explorer, see the ReadMe.doc file inside the \Demos\4. EndUser Databases\Advantage\1. Native\... directory.
I was following the instructions in that ReadMe.doc already, but I am new to Delphi 2010 and when I went to Tools/Environment Options as stated in the instructions, there was no Tools/Environment Options. There was a Tools/Options, but I could not find the Library tab referred to after that. Ther eis a LIbrary Tab in Tools/Environment Options in Delphi 5, but I don't see it in Delphi 2010.
Yes I believe the ReadMe was written for older versions of Delphi (7 or earlier) however the same concepts apply.
When you select Tools | Options in Delphi 2010, you then need to navigate to the "Library - Win32" node of the tree view on the left to check the library path.
Not to sound like I don't know what I'm doing, but I apparently don't know what I'm doing. In the ReadMe,Doc for doing this, I am on step 7 on page 2 that says to go into Delphi, open the rbads114.dpk and click Compile
I open rbads114.dpk, but there is not a Compile button displayed at that time. So instead, I click Project thenCompile, and that gives me an error saying that adsd70 is missing.
The name of the Advantage package you have installed will vary by Delphi version and Advantage version. Use Windows explorer to browse to your Advantage installation folder and determine the name of the package.
As an example I have Advantage 9.10 installed and for Delphi 2007 I browse to

The name of the Advantage package you have installed will vary by Delphi
version and Advantage version. Use Windows explorer to browse to your
Advantage installation folder and determine the name of the package.
As an example I have Advantage 9.10 installed and for Delphi 2007 I browse
to
C:\Program Files\Advantage 9.10\TDataset\Delphi2007\Win32
And find the name is adsd2007studio
Then using Notepad, I open rbAds1211.dpk and edit the Requires clause to
refer to the adsd2007studio package name, rather than adsd70.
