Sorry, but I can't resist: 'I've written some code and it raises an exception. Can anyone help me?' What is the exception: 'Incorrect password'? Or maybe: 'Can not resolve hostname'? Or do you've got a segfault? Then it could be this bug: http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=1711 And if it's about database-issues, please tell us which version of fpc you are using. The development of sqldb goes relatively fast. So you'd better always use the latest svn version from fpc. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Joost van der Sluis CNOC Informatiesystemen en Netwerken http://www.cnoc.nl _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
