Hello Phil, PM> list. Either way - it's all in the helpfile... you know, the one that came PM> with Delphi ;-) Yes, I did peruse that before asking. My understanding was that if you create an object, you must free it, which is what I was doing. However, this rule of thumb obviously does not always apply, which is a worry, what else I am creating must be suspect as well if I try to free it.
It would seem that others with greater knowledge of programming have similar problems as many components eg RXtools are attempting to free nonexistent objects and I have read posts elsewhere where Graphics.pas etc. is the cause of some (list) freeing errors. Not a perfect world eh.
