Upgrading from Delphi5 to Delphi6

rbuser

My client has installed Delphi 6 and is attempting to load the Delphi source
code I created a while back. The application was created in Delphi 5 using
ReportBuilder Pro 6.03. There are 10 Report Components in one pas file.
The executable is around 3.1KB.

My former development environment was a PC with 256MB of RAM, Windows 2k and
Delphi 5 and RB 6.03. The client's environment is a PC with 128MB of RAM,
NT 4.0 SP6 and Delphi 6 and RB 6.03. The application will not compile
since it is searching for raCodMod.dcu. When attempting to 'open' the
report components.. the system hangs.. and the only option is to terminate
Delphi.

Is this a memory issue? do you believe if the memory were upgraded, the
components would 'open' and the 'upgrade' would occur? I have no
opportunity to use Delphi 6, so I do not have any experience with the
component upgrade/conversion process.

fyi, we can drop a new component on a form and open it in the client's
environment without a problem.

Thank you.

The project was built with RB Enterprise and uses RAP or has raCodMod in the
uses clause somewher. Your client has RB Pro which doesn't include RAP. Only
the Enterprise Edition of RB includes RAP. What you'll need to do to fix the
problem: either your client needs to upgrade to RB Enterprise or you have to
build the application without RAP.
