Hi Charlie
I am not clear what is not working but this might be relevant . it might not be. If the program runs in XP but not Vista or W7 it may be you have hit the Vista and W7 newer permissions topics. If the new program also does not run in XP then these comments may not be applicable. If it does not run in Vista, right click on the exe file and select "run as administrator". If the program them runs Ok you likely need admin permissions in your program to perform some operation. UAC = User Access Control is where to start looking. Let this list know if this is the problem and more advice can be given, Or google "Delphi and UAC".

My computer died and I borrowed my son's laptop which has Vista. I installed Delphi 2007 with the 3rd party controls, copied my program (.pas files) and recompiled my program. Actually I did this with two programs. The second one runs both within the IDE and outside the IDE. The first program will load the main form (outside of the IDE) but when I click a button to open another form which is data dependent the form doesn't show. Actually the application has exe's that are called in the onclick event of the buttons; for example order entry, inventory, customer add/edit, etc. I click the order entry button and task manager shows the exe is running; however the form doesn't show on the laptop. I sincerely appreciate any suggestions. Charlie
