Steven,
I do it all the time, its the safest way to do global changes when
you start using a different component app wide or migrate from one
Delphi version to another. Also, if the IDE refuses to open the
form, which happens often everytime a field in the tabel is deleted,
the only way to solve it is to edit the dfm and fix the problem.
I have an app in D1 and D3. Let me know if you want me to email it
to you. It converts dfm to txt or txt to dfm for one file or all
files in the directory.
