    Hello I'm very sorry to post it here but I don't know where I can ask the question--if you could point out where I could seek help I would appreciate! I installed Borland Turbo C++, wrote a simplest C++ program, but I can't find out how to RUN it. The run button is dimmed all the time, why is that? Once again really appreciate any help or info! :(

    Do you have a project or only a form?

    That's why you can't use "run"...take a look at File --> New...you should find "Application"

    From File-->New there are only some form options and "Other", the latter leads to a folder "other files" containing "VCL form application" and also "Project group". What to do with it? VCL form application leads to an error message.

    When I select VCL form application, the error message says
    "Access violation address 22B7AEED in module 'bcbide100.bpl'. Read of address 00000000."

    Have you tried to close Borland and reboot your computer?

    Hi, OK I got it finally. All I did was to move the access code file to the "home directory" and rename it to it's original name (I had changed the file name). Now I can see the Run button lighted. Only thing is I don't know how exactly to completely create and run a simple program. I used the notepad to type a C++ source code (simplest one like output "hello"), then add it to project. Well, then what? When I clicked on the Run button it shows no error but no output either.

    Anyway really really grateful for your following my updates and providing help!! :D
