OKaaay...so what you're saying is that when the compiler finds the 
syntax error in 
/usr/local/src/heavywethers/inifiles/trunk/dbconfigcode2.pas and reports 
it to the IDE, the IDE is opening an editor on that file as though it's 
not in the project. [Checks] It also does exactly the same (i.e. the 
.lps has one entry for heavywetherscode.pas and two for 
dbconfigcode2.pas) if heavywetherscode.pas and dbconfigcode2.pas are 
both already open, but at least I don't get a duplicate tab/pane any 
more :-)
