And in this case the OP still needs to do an extra check (try..except), so basically this does not solve his "problem" because it is unsolvable without the programmer checking/validating what GetAppConfigDir did. function GetAppConfigDir(Global: Boolean; ForceCreate: Boolean; WhatToDoIfCreationFails: TProcedure) would "solve" the original problem ;-) Bart Bart _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
