Just curious if there were any issues when porting over projects written in
Delphi 6 to Delphi 7? |

I did that for quite a number of project and had zero problems. But you
will have the one that crops up with every new Delphi version: if you
don't have the source for 3rd-party components you use you need to get
new packages and dcus for those for your new Delphi version. And since
these new versions may contain changes to the one you used previously
they may cause you problems.

I seem to remember a few minor third party source code issues with
variants? But they were easy to work around, since I had source to all my
components. Nothing significant.

THat was D5 to D6, when Borland introduced the Variants unit to move
variant specific stuff out of System.
