   Assuming that this is not a package project, then all you need to do 
is make sure that the header guards match the filename correctly and 
that the filename is a unique identifier. (You can't have a file named 
TTest.cpp and the form in the file also named TTest) Using TTest.cpp as 
an example, the TTest.h file should have a line like this near the top:

#ifndef TTestH
#define TTestH


If the TTestH is in another format such as TTest_h, the project manager 
will not recognize the cpp, h, and dfm files as a unit.

Hello David

The project has about 150 units and the names in 6 of the header files were 
mangled.
I corrected them as you suggested and the forms are now displaying.
Interestingly, the unit headers have the same mangled names in BDS2006 and 
they work.
C++ Builder2007 is a big improvement on BDS2006.

Many thanks for the help.
