I am new to Delphi and have been asked to upgrade some projects from Delphi 3 to Delphi 7.
Could anyone give me a few pointers at ahat to do and what not to do.

The simple approach is to make a complete copy of the project source
code, load it into Delphi 7, and try to compile it.
It may work fine the first time. You may find that the Delphi 3 version
uses 3rd party components that you haven't installed into Delphi 7. If
you have the source code for any such 3rd party components you may be
able to simply install them, set up their library paths, and repeat step
one. If you don't have the source you may need to contact the original
vendor for an updated version. Many of the changes between Delphi 3 and
Delphi 7 affected component writers more than component consumers.

I upgraded from Delphi 4 to 7 last year and it was well worth it. Most of
the work was upgrading components. In D7 DsgnIntF is replaced by DesignIntf
and DesignEditors which are only available at design time. A lot of
components had to be split into separate design time and runtime units.
Mostly cut and paste once I figured it out.

We are going from 4 to 7 in the next few weeks...
Has anyone seen a problem with the 4 date format for 0 dates beeing
00/00/0000 changing to the 1/1/1899 (or whatever it is) date format?
