Oh well, a simply workaround was to specify ANOTHER project on the delphi32 command line. Then it doesn't load the bad one. Now I just need to figure out why it is bad <g>. Still interested to know WHERE it stores the "last project loaded" info, so I can just kill it next time. cheers, peter ================================================== Peter Hyde, SPIS Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand * TurboNote: http://TurboPress.com/tbnote.htm -- small, FREE and very handy * Print-to-Web automation http://TurboPress.com * Web design, automation and hosting specialists Find all the above and MORE at http://www.spis.co.nz --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz
