Error reading Symbol File

        My program exited abnormally causing Delphi & Windows to shut
down, and the next time I opened the project, I encountered the above
error message. How should I go about "repairing" the damage?

        Thanks in advance!              :)

Re:Error reading Symbol File


The "Symbol File" in question is the xxxx.dsm file created by Delphi for
each project you compile (it is _huge_). I have always been able to simply
ignore the error message and code on - a new "symbol file" is
autogenerated.

It happens to me in when the "Project".dsm file has been deleted or moved to
another directory. No worry. Recompile and try again.

To be sure, first compile (CTRL-F9), second save project, third exit Delphi.
The "project".dsm file should be in your working directory and the message
should no longer appear.

Hope this can help
