    I will hope so, I don't see any reason why D5 shouldn't be supported?
    Maybe DM could tell us the reason why?

    Sorry, but we only the have the resources to support the latest 3 versions
    of
    Delphi. With each version the VCL has internal modifications that make it
    difficult to port the code backwards and get it working. That is why there
    is no RB Server Edition for D5. The number of customers using D5 is now
    quite small, with many of those looking to update to D2005.

    Thank you for the clear words. We are also looking to update to D2005 but it
    would be fantastic to use the same tools in D5 and D2005 while migrating.

    I can understand your reasons, but as one of the "few" D5 users it is a
    shame.

    I hope that you will continue to provide support for the D5 compatible
    versions of RB for a while yet, and that an attractive RB upgrade path will
    be available should I eventually upgrade (could be some time as D5 does
    everything I need).

    Thanks

    Same here. We will have a first look to D2005 but we will stay with the
    excellent D5 at least for a year.
