Article #20421: Why are my Data Access components not showing?

Why are my Data Access components not showing? In the "Quick Start" booklet, the tutorial uses components on the data access tab, why don't I have that tab?

The "Standard" version of Delphi 5, does not come with the "BDE" or "Code exploerer".  
Therefore, there will not be a Data Access tab available when following the tutorial in
the "Quick Start" booklet.  That tutorial was developed for the "Enterprise" and 
"Professional" versions only.  However there is an appropriate tutorial available for 
all versions of Delphi here: http://www.borland.com/techpubs/delphi/
also, the address is listed at the bottom of the README.txt file.  The tutorial is 
towards the bottom, under the heading Tutorials, downloads.
