Hi John, I did not receive your previous email. But base on what you said in your post, I must say that is just basic knowledge about how to debug in Delphi. I think Delphi do a proper job as what instructed to do. Nothing wrong about Delphi. The only thing I can suggest is to read a Delphi starter book which I recalled that I suggested you long time ago in DUG mailing list IIRC.
