Mark, I'm sorry. I've just read the initial post from Paras Jain and he is using both Delphi 5 and Delphi 7, and it is a real problem. I don't know if there is a problem to abandon Delphi 5 and compile everything with Delphi 7. I have experience porting Delphi 4 code to Delphi 6 and we had no problem in doing it. We converted exact 9132 files (including more than 3000 dfm files) in a very short period of time using 9 people working part time on the conversion project. Dispite the conversion being easy, there was not just client/server forms, but also Windows Services, many classes containing very complex business rules and critical mission systems (I work for a brazilian bank and everything is done in Delphi).
The most difficult part was COM+ components conversion, but even if he has a lot of COM+ components, I strongly recomend doing it so it will be possible to do parallel work, dfm file merge operations (which is impossible with binary forms), among other things. And, of course, configuration management team will owe him.
