D2: a sudden rash of "property does not exist" errors?!

Quite suddenly, I am encountering "error reading form: property does not
exist" messages when opening forms at runtime which work just fine in design
time and which worked -- literally -- yesterday afternoon.

The properties being complained about include the font and caption of a
TDataModule; both of which properties most certainly do exist.

So, obviously, some file has become corrupted and needs to be rebuilt. But
which one(s)?

A search of DejaNews revealed many stabs on this subject but no concrete
answers and several messages to which no reply had been issued.

Since when has a TDataModule had any properties at all (apart from
Name/Tag)?

It sounds like you might have a mismatch between your .pas and .dfm
files: have you been renaming files?

It's probably not relevant here but these are the errors you get when
trying to load a Delphi 3 form into Delphi 2
