This might still not be correct... you imght now not have an AV, but you might have a memory leak...
At the risk of sounding like a broken record (seeing as I've given this same advice not too long ago...), I'd recommend you do yourself a favour and run the application with the MemCheck memory management unit replacement. It will help you confirm whether you're properly managing your memory/freeing stuff when you should free them. Post back if you have trouble and we'll see whether we can help further. (MemCheck: http://v.mahon.free.fr/pro/freeware/memcheck/ ) I might add that often AV's in components (indeed, in general) are often due to dangling object pointers pointing to objects that have been freed... This situation is more easily spotted if you make a point of always nilling references to a given object when you free it. No exceptions, no but's. Then you'll clearly see when code tries to dereference a nil pointer etc. There's also a whole notification system that you need to be aware of/take note of when your component holds references to other components, to ensure you properly react (by nilling your held references) when these components notify you that they're being destroyed. Otherwise, your component might accidentally try to access a held reference when the component has already been destroyed by the VCL (for example when a form is being destroyed.) But, I assume you're already aware of this?
