Hi Paul. The main issue you will run into that I have experienced are anything that used variants or variant functions like VarToStr means you need to include "Variants" into your uses clauses. The other DEMON thing that people experineced going fro D5 to D6, and its the same for D4, is if any of your controls use Property editors, this gets really messy as yu have to include at lease one more item to the uses clause, and DPK files that you might use that have the controls in them, and rename one of the desgnint to designint (I think that what its called). This however is quite well documented around various locations and a search on Google will I am sure return a number of sites.
There are bound to be other things too, but these are the 2 main issues that I got when converting a D4 app to D6.
