Wow!
I didn't know about that. Of course there is nothing about that in
Borland's help file.
Anyway that IDE crash gave me the lesson so I left the
'Application.Title' unchanged and I use a different approach now.
Also, I will try to move my code out from DPR as you suggested. I need
to insert code before 'create forms' and after 'create forms'. It was
much easier to read the code while it was all there.
Thank you very much Rob.
