Thanks for the pointers...
1) Are you using interfaces? If so, check that the referenced object
hasn't
been relased.
.. No interfaces
2) Have you got your code that references the stringlist wrapped up in a
critical section?
.. Shouldn't need to because it's threadvar - the thread can write to
the string list any time it feels like it, it has it's own instance of
the stringlist.
Is my assumption correct?
3) Are you trying to access an item in the list that doesn't exist (eg,
MyList[4] when MyList only contains 4 items - remember that TStringList
is 0
based)?
.. Only using .add Generally I then use .text then .clear , so no,
not an indexing issue.
These are probably all obvious ones you have already checked, but you
didn't
say what you had checked or not.
Phil.
