GUI operations are thread-specific. Therefore, to update the GUI, you need to update it from the GUI's own thread. Do your Internet operation in your secondary thread. Leave your main thread alone. Then there's nothing to update. -- Rob _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
