Did the D2007 version have the XP manifest?.....on the same machine (XP
onwards) a program using XPManifest does invoke the later version of common
controls in COMCTRL32.DLL, so it is possible thats where the difference comes
from.
Of course this is only plausible if one of them was using different versions of
the controls/XP manifest.
I have noticed on Vista that programs without the manifest still seem to get it
by default..if they are created from new with D2007. An older program still
invokes the old version of the controls even if recompiled under d2007 (unless
the XP Manifest is added).
