I can now compile my large app (thanks to Kurt), as long as I have QRPrntr.dcu present in the app's directory. I tried other projects that use quick reports, and they too now won't compile, unless I copy QRPrntr.dcu into their folders as well. This is a little silly and I don't like to patch the problem if I can work out why this is happening.
I checked my library paths and $(DELPHI)\Lib is the top path on the list. I tried moving it to the bottom of the list to see what would happen, and now it says: [Fatal Error] File not found: 'c:\program files\borland\delphi6\Lib\QRPrntr.pas' !!!! So it's saying it can't find QRPrntr.pas in the very folder which contains QRPrntr.dcu. This proves it's not really searching properly and is just reporting the last library path in the list as the problem. I tried copying the project to another Delphi developer's PC, with the same result, so it doesn't SEEM to be a stuffed registry (and I did reinstall Delphi 6 to no avail). Any idea what's going wrong? Thanks.

I copied QRPrntr.dcu from C:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi6\Lib into my app directory, and bingo, compiled without a problem! So even though lib is in the library path, somehow it's not finding it there. So now to try and figure out why, but at least I can compile my app! Much appreciated. I owe you one.

Just briefly, can you be sure that it is finding this dcu? Is the ...\Delphi6\Lib\ dir still recorded somewhere - search path, library path, something. It could be worth trying to copy the dcu into your apps main folder, and see if that helps - as that is definitely in the search path. Also check that the dcu didn't get overwritten when installing your older delphi versions. Probably would be worth doing a search of your drive to see whether there are any other copies of this dcu which may be hiding and screwing things up.
