No because the interfaces have changed over the years.  It might be as simple as 
recompiling but you will not be able to use dll descending from the BCB5 VCL 
with BDS2007.  Or you might have to fix the code up to reflect the current VCL 
interface.

Sorry, I didn't mention that this dynamic libraries hide all VCL code and export functionality through simple, compatible with C, interfaces. Also main program will still be created in plain C++, not in BDS2007, but it will have to load dll libraries created in C++Builder 5 and 2007. 

I'd like to know whether runtime libraries from VCL 5 and VCL 10 can coexist. I'd like to know whether memory manager BorlndMM.dll from C++Builder 2007 can be used by libraries created by C++Builder 5 without problem.
