I have dealt with this before on large projects (FB 2.0 / 2.5). Its not really a big deal. Just do a (text) search through your .dfm (form/datamodule) files for the field and edit the text files to change the data type to the correct version. You can even automate the process as required. Rebuild the project and your done. Obviously this doesn't work if your dfms are binary.
