Thanks Paul
 
That works great, Owner and Parent were already set to the component anyway.  I had always thought that the name had to be unique within a form.  You learn something new every day.
 
Thanks

Set the Owner and Parent to be the Component - Control-Names must be Unique within the Owner-Control.

Hi
 
I have a component that creates some buttons in its constructor.  I need to name these buttons but as there will be multiple copies of my component on a form the names need to be unique.  I had thought to use the name of the component (which will be unique) and then a hard coded name i.e.
 
addbutton.name := self.name +  'AddButton';   //Self is the component    
 
Self.Name seems to be blank (although I know th component is named).  Any suggestions?
