Pardon me for being pedantic, but while I agree with everything else you said, I feel the need to reiterate that -1 isn't actually returned to *indicate* an error (and you mentioned the conflict between an error result and a valid result yourself at one point). It's just the value returned when an error has occured. And yes, that means the VCL code is wrong. GetLastError... I won't say it again, promise. ;) Cheers, Karl _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: delphi@delphi.org.nz Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to delphi-requ...@delphi.org.nz with Subject: unsubscribe
