Are there any 3rd party component developers big enough to take this on?
In financial terms and scale.
That appears to me, to be the only route that would keep Delphi going as
I know it.
Unlikely, the only companies probably able to borrow that kind of money have
been moving towards .NET
A somewhat cheesy fix would be to subclass TDatabase and change it so that
it doens't store the connected property. Also, you could change it so that
it doesn't read it in or at least ignore it when it does.

Another option if you have the source to the component set, it may be easy
to upgrade it to 2010. There is a very good how to and utility:

You don't need a component for this. Adding this to your DPR works:

);

end;
end;
end;
I know it is something I'm doing wrong, so if you see what it is please
let me know. This is really rather frustrating to me...
Thanks again for your help.

DIRegEx is a commercial package that is supposed to be pretty good. We use

Try running the app in Administrator mode. It could be that Delphi is
already running that way and when it spawns your application as a process
that process is inheriting Delphi's rights. Just a guess though.
