How to delete a blank "data source" entry in the "data tree" toolbar?

edited June 2003 in General
I've just designed a form based around ADO, and went to print. It came up
with BDE error. I don't use the BDE (hate it!). However, the "data tree"
inside the report designer is showing a blank "datasource" entry just above
the one I use which is DBPipeline1. I can't see how to delete the blank
entry - I think it is that which is causing the BDE error. How can I clear
it?

Help!

    Did you create a BDE dataview at some point in time? Open up the Data tab of
    your report designer and make sure there are no dataviews there. Then check
    all the forms and datamodules in the application for BDE based pipeline and
    datasets. Also, make sure daDBBDE is not in your uses clause, but rather
    daADO if you are using DADE (the Data tab). Are you loading a template? Add
    daIDE to your uses clause and run the runtime designer and check the data
    tab at runtime. Verify your Designer.Datasettings are set to ADO and not the
    BDE.
