      Hi. I think you may have a mixture of things there: *.cpp and *.h suggests you have a C++ project. *.dfm does indeed suggest Delphi form files, but without any *.pas (i.e. pascal) files, it's very unlikely that what you have is a Delphi proect.

        I also guess it is a C++ project. Are you sure that the extension "dfm" actually stands for "Delphi Form"? It might as well be a ressource for the C++ program.

        This statement is false.

          Now you come to mention it, I think C++ Builder used *.dfm file extension for its forms, too? I never used it myself, but it would be the most obvious explanation.

              You don't build forms, you build a project. If you don't have a project file then you have no choice but to make one. I suggest dumping all the files you have into one directory, creating a new project, adding all of your various *cpp/*h files to it, electing the most likely-looking form to be the 'main' form (i.e. the one created when the program starts) and taking it from there. If you have little experience of dealing with projects then this is not going to be an easy task.

              No thanks! I have quite enough to do already, but I'm happy to give advice. Dan
