Lester,

What I found with Delphi 6 is I wasn't getting a complete rebuild of my
apps. I would get a quick rebuild, sometimes with as little as a few
thousand lines of code.

When you do a rebuild of your app, is it doing a complete rebuild from the
fresh sources?

I had to turn on "build with run-time packages" and strip it down to just
vcl and rtl. Then, when I did a rebuild it would actually hit all the
sources for ibo. Then, I could set it back to not build with run-time
packages, with the small list of packages in the packages list, and it would
again do a nice complete rebuild of the app and I would avoid those
problems.

Please have a look and see if this matches what you are observing.

I know for a fact that the code is fine. This is a build problem.

I decided not to do regression testing because as far as I can tell, I've
found the issue. Once I get everything cleaned up and verified and I release
the next version, if you are still having trouble with it, I will do a
regression analysis.

Thanks,
Jason LeRoy Wharton
