Hi,
I have both Builder 5 and Builder 2007 and I am trying to migrate the 
project to the new Builder IDE. However, I get stuck on compilation 
errors. For example:
in the
sampleHeaderFile.h I have:

class RGBValue {
      public:
           RGBValue ();
           RGBValue (short _R, short _G, short _B);
           ~RGBValue () {};
           short R, G, B;
           void Assign (short _R, short _G, short _B);
           void CopyRGB (RGBValue * SourceRGB);
           bool Empty;
           //operators
           RGBValue operator+(RGBValue&);
           RGBValue operator-(RGBValue&);
           RGBValue operator/(int&);
           RGBValue operator/(float&);
           RGBValue operator/(double&);
           RGBValue operator*(int&);
           RGBValue operator*(float&);
           RGBValue operator*(double&);

};
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
class RGBArray {
      public:
           RGBArray (int _nx, int _ny);
           ~RGBArray ();
           int nx, ny;
           RGBValue ** XY;
...
etc.,
}
At           RGBValue ** XY; I get type name expected error (E2303) 
compiling with Builder 2007, while I didn't have problems with Builder 5.
Any suggestions?

Once the final ; is added to the class declaration the code you
supplied compiles without error in RAD Studio 2007. Either you have
left out something that is actually causing the error (a #define macro
for "XY" perhaps) or you have not installed the updates to your
Builder 2007 install.

Thanks Leo,
I didn't realize the update was that important. Currently, I have 
Builder 11.0.2804.9245 and the update seems to be kind of complicated. 
It is not clear from which one to start and there is a lot to read about it.
Thanks for the help,
Julian

I don't think that it is the issue here, but I am testing with the
December update applied and don't have any way to test with the
version you are using so I included it as a possibility.

There are two updates to that version. The most important is the
December 2007 update. You should be able to just download it and run
the installer - the installation should be basically automatic.

There is another hotfix available which I have not yet applied to my
installation, but the number of issues it fixes is rather limited.
