Dan,
I hope this isn't a dumb question, but is the "declaration unit" in the Uses
clause of the "invocation unit"?
I've noticed odd behaviour in the past which went away when I moved the Uses
item from the "Implementation" to the "Interface" - but I haven't had this
sort of problem for a long while (and not in D7)...
Cheers, Paul

Find declaration does not work if:
- de{*word*81} is running
- there are compilation errors above current point or in used units
- the destination unit(s) was (were) compiled without debug info
- you hit one of bugs in IDE which destabilizes it, or install a buggy
package with same consequences
- there can always be more reasons :)

Hi Guys,
Yep, I had some problems with this one also.
If you end up (for whatever reason) with a project with some DCUs that
has debug info stored in them, and some that does not, it can get very
confusing because you find that "find declaration" works in some of
your units, and not in others ?!!
The short answer (fix) is :
1. Make sure you have Debug- info switched on (Project>Options>
Compiler>Debugging : Have these ticked : "Debug information",
"Local symbols" & "Reference info" )
2. Either delete all the DCUs in your project and compile, or
do a Project>Build - all.
That ensures that all your DCUs have debug info in them, and all
should be fine from there on...
Kind Regards,
Johan Elliot
