I think you just send the .pas .dpr .dfm .res files and let Delphi recreate
the .dproj file.   Note the bdsproj files are from Delphi 2006.  That's what
I did (limited experience, but it worked - well I didn't hear back of any
problems).

Subject: [DUG] The "xxx.bdsproj.local" file frustration


Good morning all,

Re: Delphi 2007

This morning I sent an Auckland collegue a zipped file of code for a project
I am working on here. What was NOT included was any of...

xxx.dsk
xxx.cfg
xxx.dof

These were removed as they can sometimes (dsk especially) contain references
to specific directories.

However, my collegue said he had trouble compiling the project as Delphi
wanted to look in a specific directory for some of the source code.

#&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

OK, looking at all the project files I foind, in the xxx.bdsproj.local file,
directories even relating to a drive "S:\"and directory that has never,
ever, been access on this computer. Some older projects once accessed these
- however this project had been created from new on this computer that does
not contain an S: drive.

I took a look at every directory in any selection in both the Tools and the
Project menu without finding any references.

I even renamed the file to "old_xxx.bdsproj.local" and then loaded the
project again. All good I thought, but then I took a look at the new
"xxx.bdsproj.local" that Delphi had helpfully created. There were the
offending S:\ directories and others.

Can anyone enlighten me as to where Delphi is getting these from and why it
insists on writing them to the project? And while you are at it, can anyone
tell me how to distribute my project to an external collegue without it
wanting to look in a directory that doesn't exist on his computer?

Thanks

Steve
