Migrate from Delphi 5 to Delphi 2007

What is the thing to do to run the applications I develop whith Delphi 5, to run
them on Delphi 2007 ? I actually have many error messages like TTable not
declare, TQuickRep not declared, ..

First thing to do is get rid of stuff that is no longer supported and 
maintained like the BDE and Quick Reports I would think, even though you 
can still use them if you're prepared to fiddle a bit (but I would not 
advise it).

But it is not easy to do it in a program whith too much lines like my 
program. Is there a program utility to do it ? In my Delphi 5 program, I use 
many TTable,TQuery, TDataBase, .... All my reports are made with 
QuickReport. Or I must make the reports again ?

Thank you

Hi FONKOU Barthélémy,

The BDE is still present in Delphi 2007, although SQL Links (with the 
TDatabase) may not be around - unless you've had a copy of Delphi 7 
installed on your machine (Delphi 2007 will be able to detect and use 
SQL Links when found on your machine, just like before).

Regarding QuickReport: I reckon you are not aware that registered users 
of Delphi 2007 can download QuickReport, the Remote Debugger, and the 
BDE Merge Module from the Delphi 2007 Registered Users page?

Thank you Bob

I do not have Delphi 7 installed on my machine. But if it is necessary, I 
can install it on my machine because I have it but I did not installed it, 
because I was accustomed in Delphi 5. But as I already installed Delphi 
2007, that will not cause a problem if I installed Delphi 7 now?

Or then I install Delphi 7 on another machine, I converted my programs with 
before exporting them towards Delphi 2007?

Thank
