Forms not closing with XP

We have a Delphi 2 / BDE/ paradox table app and problems have been consistent with WinXP. Many sub-apps will not close after they have completed (form will not close). User's must end task out of the app inorder to get out. The process completes ok, just the form will not close. Any ideas?

Recompile under Delphi 6. The Win API calls are slightly different between
the versions.

Alan,
Is is possible to go from delphi 2 to delphi 6 without major app issues and rewrite? I have been told by the developer it cant be done...what do you think?

Colleen, if you use QuickReports then it's a pain converting from Delphi 2
to any version above 2... maybe half an hour or more per report depending
how complex the report is. Maybe there is a conversion tool now, I don't
know. Other than that you'll probably need to add "variants" to your uses
clauses, and may need to change code where you compare null values.

I'm afraid there are quite a lot of conversion issues between V2 and 6.
Just one of the reasons for keeping up to date, I guess.
