I have converted 2 programs over. If you have updated all your 3rd party
components, and you don't do anything funny with strings then it is quite
straight forward. If you do anything strange with strings, it can be a pain in
the arse.
One program took about 2 hours to convert, the other
There is also the cost of upgrading controls too.
I found a lot of the ones i used in D7 pretty much with the odd exception,
installed fine in D2007.
I have however got one control that I need to update the if I spent the
time mucking around with the source code I would get to compile under
So what sorts of things were no problem, and what sorts of things were a
problem?
If I think of what sorts of things are in my code, there is quite a lot to
do with getting the character code of string[i], lots of use of
length(string), relying on alphabetic sorting of stringlists, calling

Hi Laurence
I have Delphi 2007, and haven't gone to 2009 yet.
I'm still using Delphi 5, and finding the step up to 2007 hard enough.
Does anyone have any recommendations, written resources or information
that might lead to an easier upgrade?
The change in the IDE is probably the most confusing
Here are my notes, I found some great instructions on Steve Trefethens blog
about installing components in D2005/D2006/D2007. (He is ex CodeGear)
I have added notes/examples from my own situation, I make a folder under my
source tree called components, and install my component library from
Rudy Velthuis has released an IDE expert to perform the same behaviour

The Installing Component Packages index in the Delphi 2007 (haven't
checked other versions) leads to the Working with Packages and

Since we've been comparing D5 / 7 to D2007 / 9. I'd be interested in
knowing how they compare to the VS2008 IDE in terms of usability and
productivity. I've had a play with the free version, but not enough to
know how it compares to Delphi.
What are peoples impressions?

I had problems with the source data being changed when I used a lookup. I
created a manual lookup table and found the same problem. Looks like the record
pointers got mixed up when using 2 tables. I fixed the source file over 20
