There is also the cost of upgrading controls too.<br>I found a lot of the ones i used in D7 pretty much with the odd exception, installed fine in D2007.<br>I have however got one control that I need to update the if I spent the time mucking around with the source code I would get to compile under D2007, but I decided today iw ill just change to a different control which will make upgrading to D2009 easier and more future proof.<br>

I have converted 2 programs over. If you have updated all your 3rd party components, and you don't do anything funny with strings then it is quite straight forward. If you do anything strange with strings, it can be a pain in the arse.<br>
<br>
One program took about 2 hours to convert, the other took about 20.<br>

Subject: [DUG] Delphi 7 to Delphi 2009<br>
<br>
I'm one of those procrastinators who have bought Delphi 2009 but haven't<br>
installed it. I guess Delphi 7 is fast, I know it back to front and it<br>
handles almost everything I need, and the help system seemed to go down the<br>
toilet from D5 onwards.<br>
<br>
I keep hearing about the amount of code conversion required to move D7<br>
projects to D2009. Really, how bad is it? Can anyone who has migrated from<br>
D7 to D2009 give a rundown on what's required.<br>
<br>
