Thanks Nello - I can but try.
Unit3.dfm (in this case) was the new unit, which references my repository
one. Yes - I think I need to look more closely at how the IDE/compiler is
resolving the location of the files involved.
Thanks again.

Some random swings at it:
1. try deleting it from the repository and adding it back in.
(perhaps you've moved it to a diff path since adding it?)
2. what is unit3.dfm? is it something you're still referencing or
something no longer in your project? is it really still on
that c:\..\Projects path? if it's moved, is that unit in your
project - or if not is the directory where it is on your search
path? Are your debug paths and search paths leading to different
versions of this? Are ancestor forms in your project possibly
in conflict with the version in the repository?
3. look at .dpr file of the project (as a text file or "view source")
to see if the unit3.DFM you think you're using is the same as
the one you are really using
4. look at the DFM file (in text format) of the derived form and
see if there are any strange phantom copies of invisible
components or references to things that shouldn't be there.
good luck
