You just have to remember that some people aren't allowed to use that
version, as much as they would like to do so.


Brian.



Also Lazarus/LCL and Free Pascal APIs aren't exactly stable between 
releases as with every release of both Lazarus and Free Pascal you have 
things that change and/or break (the string API changes are a recent big 
one, but many other things change every release).


It shouldn't be surprising when people want to stick with some version 
for a long time to avoid gotchas. Also when making branched releases you 
may want to keep the version of the tools you used at that release time 
around in case you want to do fixes later on that branch.

Ok. So it is *not* an empty form.

Please post the whole unit and the compiler error you get.

I created the form by clicking on NewForm and then I tried to rename it
from the Object Inspector.  I am running Lazarus 1.2.4  This app has
probably been used by several versions of Lazarus.

Terry


It renamed it to the new filename:

{ This is an automatically generated lazarus resource file }

LazarusResources.Add('TStRschForm','FORMDATA',[

'TPF0'#11'TStRschForm'#10'StRschForm'#4'Left'#3#235#0#6'Height'#3#240#0#3'Top'

How did you create the form?
Can you post the first few lines of the unit1.lrs?

The new form and it's source will not compile unless i comment out the:

{$I unit1.lrs} 

I tried renaming unit1 to the new unit name, but it did not like the lrs
file.  It refused to compile.

I recommend to adapt the $mode and $H directive in the main source
(usually projectname.lpr).

What means messed up? It's an empty form, isn't it?
