Cheers Larry. I removed it from the system path but the problem remained. I 
then temporarily renamed the Borland folder Borland0 so that the old 
offending folder could not be found. Didn't make any difference. The same 4 
errors contained a reference to the now non-existent folder. I have seen 
such weird things happen inside the Program Files folder in vista that I 
can't say this is down to bcb2007 although regardless of that I'm at a loss 
as to how bcb2007 was finding that folder when it did exist. I'm also at a 
loss as to what the 4 errors have to do with me as they all refer to bcb 
methods that I haven't redefined.

Just a guess - That sorta looks like NEWOBJSPACKAGE.LIB might contain an 
object that was built in the old location - are you sure _everything_ was 
rebuilt - did you clean out all objs/.libs/all-compiler-generated-output for 
that package when you relocated it to its BCB2007 location, before 
rebuilding/re-installing the package?

It is referring to the source file NewObjs.cpp that was compiled by the 
project for NEWOBJSPACKAGE.LIB.

Sounds like you did not recompile NEWOBJSPACKAGE.LIB using Studio's 
compiler.  You cannot reuse .lib and .obj files from compilers earlier than 
BDS2006 in RAD2007.  Such files are version-specific (in the specific case 
of 2006->2007, the two are binary compatible with each other, but that is 
not the case in other versions).

As far as I know I did dhoke. The only thing I didn't change was the 
'Requires', which contained bdertl.bpi, dbrtl.bpi, rtl.bpi. vcl.bpi and 
vcl.db.bpi, as I wasn't sure if the compiler added these automatically. 
Should I have removed them?

As far as I know, I did Remy although, having rebuilt and reinstalled the 
package several times today, the dates of some files are confusing me. I've 
got

NewObjs.cpp (dated today)
NewObjs.dcr (5/12/2002)
NewObjs.h (today)
NewObjs.obj (yesterday)
NewObjsPackage.bpk (yesterday)
NewObjsPackage.bpl (today)
NewObjsPackage.cbproj (today)
NewObjsPackage.cbproj.local (today)
NewObjsPackage.cesettings (28/5/2007)
NewObjsPackage.cpp (28/3/2003)
NewObjsPackage.dsk (today)
NewObjsPackage.map (today)
NewObjsPackage.obj (3/1/2008)
NewObjsPackage.res (yesterday)
NewObjsPackage.tds (yesterday)

I've unistalled the NewObjs package. I've renamed the NewObjs directory 
NewObjs0. I've then created a new blank package, added a unit, renamed the 
unit NewObjs.cpp and the package NewObjsPackage.cpp and placed them in a new 
folder called NewObjs. I've then copied the contents of the old NewObjs.cpp 
and old NewObjs.h and pasted them into the NewObjs.cpp and NewObjs.h files 
in the new package.  When I try to build the NewObjs package I get the 
message
[ILINK32 Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'EXTCTRLS.OBJ'

I don't suppose anyone can tell me why it can't open the file? 

Do you have any #pragma link statements or includes in your project for 
EXTCTRLS?

I didn't before Larry but I added #include <ExtCtrls.hpp> to the NewObjs.h 
header file. It didn't make any difference.

The 'Requires' now only contains rtl.bpi. Should it contain others and, if 
so, how are you expected to know what it should contain?

It seems there is no ExtCtrls.obj in either bcb6 or bcb2007 so why the f is 
it looking for it? Is it looking for it in a library that should be in the 
Requires list?

I finally got it to build after adding the same .bpi files to the Requires 
list as it had before. and was then able to successfully install the 
components. I then tried building my full application and guess what? I need 
two empty dummy libraries stlpmt.lib and stlpmti.lib to get it to compile 
and I end up with the exact 4 error messages I had before, including the 
reference to the old bcb6 NewObjs folder.

WTF?

I finally got rid of the errors although I can't claim to understand what 
was going on. It was down to the fact that when I copied the Projects folder 
over to the bcb2007 directory, the folder that bcb6 stored the NewObjs,lib 
file in was included. All was well after I deleted that, although I'm at a 
loss as to why the bcb2007 app was accessing it anyway. 

Any chance (?) there's a "global" level library search path set , that 
bcb2007 "picked up" (maybe from project, maybe from earlier BCB installation 
configuration), and is still part of bcb2007's configuration...  Might want 
to look for that and eliminate it, mostly in case there are other items 
(paths) with it that could cause you add'l grief in the future...

I've looked everywhere dhoke. I even scrubbed the bcb6 directories from the 
system path. The environment variables are OK as well.
