I take it that you are Returning "Nil" from General_bits.ReadConfFile('ljch');
if it fails to find/read the file
And I also assume you are destroying ("Free") the TStringList Temp before
setting it to "nil"...

I must be missing something really simple here.
This is designed to test the ReadConfFile proc I've written - it should
bring up a message dialog with the error "file not found" in it, but
nothing
comes up and the form closes as it normally would.
procedure Tmenu.FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
var
Temp: TStringList;
begin
Temp := TStringList.Create;
Temp := General_bits.ReadConfFile('ljch');
if Temp = Nil then
begin
MessageDlg(General_bits.Last_Error, mtError, [mbok], 0);
end
else begin
Temp.SaveToFile('c:\windows\desktop\blah.txt');
end;
end;
