I just bought BCB 6 Pro /SP4 and right from the start, ran into this bug.
Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Thanks

Can you add the inline(s) that pre-BCB6 code has?, i.e.

BCB5 db.hpp has a virtual inline calling a static method with a
TMetaClass param but this code is missing in BCB6:
//BCB5 code:
/* virtual class method */ virtual bool __fastcall IsBlob() { return
IsBlob(__classid(TBlobField)); }
#pragma option pop
/* class method */ static bool __fastcall IsBlob(TMetaClass* vmt);
//BCB6 code:
/* virtual class method */ virtual bool __fastcall IsBlob(TMetaClass* vmt);

No, it just regenerates the header file and overwrites your changes.
This makes it unusable for some component packs.
ughhhhh!!! If it's not one thing it's another with Borland!!

Do it once, remove the .pas from the project and add

back the dcc32-generated .obj in place of the .pas. Then
the .hpp will stop being regenerated.
Or you could change your calls, e.g.
if( Table1Graphic->IsBlob(__classid(TBlobField)) )
