<div dir="ltr">ime sharing dpk's (or even dpr's) (or trying to) between versions can be a recipe for headaches.<br><br>Have you considered using include files to achieve the sharing of the "meat" of your dpk, whilst allowing the IDE to maintain "different" versions for each IDE in the dpk files themselves (with attendant dproj etc) ?<br>

<br><br>The downside is that you lose some of the IDE support for working with the content of your DPK/DPR, but if you are dependent on $ifdef's in this area then you no doubt already find yourself having to steer well clear of such IDE support anyway, since it has as tendency to clobber such things (and if that's the case, it's worth nothing that the contents of your include file(s) will be conveniently safe from any inadvertent meddling by the IDE!).</div>

<div>Hi Joylon,<br>
<br>
Its sorted now. It just does not like the old dproj file, it
doesn't like a cut down edited version, it doesnt like a blank one
and it doesnt like a missing one !!!!<br>
<br>
I made a new dpk project and saved it and then copied everything
from the old dpk and it works. It seems like it wants some new
xml lines in it or ELSE..<br>
<br>
The issue here is that we have to work concurrently on 2007 and
XE6 versions with the same source (and a few ifdefs). So the last
thing I want is the various clauses - includes, requires, uses to
be in a different order. When its 50 to 100 of them, it makes a
huge difference to source comparison.<br>

<div>With the prior dproj intact, the IDE should identify that
you are upgrading and offer to save the old version with a
different name (or offer to save the new version with a
different name, I forget which way round. Though I have a
niggly feeling that in the past I was frustrated by the fact
that it was the former, which imho is the least useful
approach!)<br>
<br>
<br>
You have versioning/backups though, so it shouldn't matter
which particular named variety of these files the IDE chooses
to mess with. Once you have an upgraded package/project, you
"Save As" to get a file correctly named for new version you
need, and then restore your previous versions from source
control/backups. Right ? :)</div>
