Thanks for all the ideas everyone. Still not solved. Interesting though - if I put QRPrntr.dcu in the app folder and get my successful build, then if I remove the QRPrntr.dcu again and re-build again, it still works! But if I leave Delphi and go back in, then it won't compile. So Delphi somehow "remembers" the QRPrntr.dcu and doesn't require it to be present on the 2nd re-buold while still in the IDE!!! Weird.
Anyway, I think I'll give up for the moment and come back to try and solve it another day.

You could try deleting all of the dcu files for your project and for any library files that you have the source for, and then doing a build. This has worked for us before when trying to get rid of couple of different errors.
