Error reading symbol file

Hi,

I have an application that I began developing in Delphi 1 and now I'm
continuing work on it in Delphi 3.  Every time I open the project now
in Delphi 3, I get a message saying "Error reading symbol file".

Okay, this is fair enough and I understand it's because the symbol
file is still in Delphi 1 format, but my question is how do I prevent
the error message from coming up?

Cheers,

  - Bob -

 Wel, I work around this by creating a new project then add all the files
from the old project and recompile it. Error messages were gone.

Bob,

Go to the Options|Environment dialog and turn off saving of
'Desktop and Symbols'; this'll make the problem go away.

Hi,

Just delete the symbol file (.dsm) and open your
project. Delphi will complain it can't read it; no
worries. Just build the project and generate a new
one.

Hope this helps
