Michael,

Yes: BDE, BDEConst and SMIntf, but they rarely appear.
The challenge is you have to do that recursively, starting from the
dpr and all the used packages.

You'll find that apparently agnostic packages like QuickReports and
TeeChart tend to pull the BDE back in. If you use run time packages,
then you'll be sure you're not using the BDE anymore only when your
application is able to start without bdertl70.bpl (assuming you use
Delphi 7).
