i try to add new components in delphi 5 to use them on
my own palette page called "Franks"  - the compiler adds them without any
error message but they are not visible on  any palette page but shown in the
pallette - properties dialog. what can i do ?

Can you show us how you registered the component?

Judging from the complete lack of capital letters in your newsgroup message,
it sounds like you've been bitten by the required capitalization of the
"Register" procedure :).

Make sure your register procedure is declared thus:

  procedure Register;

Note the capitalization.
