Not that I know. I converted a V3 project to V5 a while ago. Do not
use the mak or bpr file from V3. So do not let it automatically
convert to V5 by bcb5. Instead start a new project and add all
the units and so by hand. Indeed that is nasty work.

I added about 275 units. Cannot remember that I had to change code
to let it compile, link and run. Had to change only few codelines to make
it behave in the same way as with V3.

In fact I kept both projects parallel for more than a year. Editing
of TForms had to be done only with V3.

Only if you use the STL or components that are not anymore in V5
like the nice TNHTML you can expect more work.

What made it not compile then ?

Hans.
