Also, I didn't say that all my users had this problem, although I did
say a lot of systems (oops), but on the machines that have had problems,
and I spent ages trying to sort their problems out, it all came down to,
if i removed the Getmem from the code it worked like a charm.

Yes, well GetMem is a very fundamental procedure. I mean, the VCL is
full
of calls to GetMem - Delphi would really fall apart without it (no
dynamic
array usage would be safe, for example). Obviously you have to watch
your
step when using it, but if I'd had the number of problems that (I infer)
you've had with it, then I'd suspect that that there was a corrupt
version
of borlandmm.dll being propagated around. Might that be a possibility?
Cheers,
Carl
