Urgent: Why is my vcl app suddenly starting a console

I have been writing a VCL gui application for about 6 months, and everything has been fine.

Last week C++ Builder 5 suddenly complained about include and lib directories, even if the standard $(BCB)\include\ etc. were in the project options. One file it complained about was c0w32.obj. After moving the standard paths to the top of the list in the project the thing would finally compile. But now I have a major problem: The applications starts up in a console, and then shows the first window(logon). I have no idea where this console comes from. My first thought was that I have included a file/lib that only runs in console mode, but I can't get rid of it! I have also tried to make a new VCL project and include all my forms and cpp files over again in case the project file was mangled. But to no avail. I am getting close to the deadline on this project, so any help would be appreciated.

I read someting about this on Borland's community page. Seems that the *.bpr file is corrupted. You have to recreate it but I don't remember the details. See and do a search. James P. Cottingham
