You realize that if one of these is true, then they are both true, right? String comparison in RB is case-insensitive.

some bad programming in rs for case statements

You're making a lot of aspersions about RS/RB here, but it sounds to me like you've got a tangled mess of code that (I suspect) has at least one error in it. The fact that you're doing things like the above, along with your dozen other posts on this subject (some of them in the wrong thread), suggests to me that you're flailing around without really understanding what you're doing. This is a good way to introduce *more* bugs, but not to figure out what's going on. Also, you said that if you try to reproduce the problem in a simple project, then it goes away and the code works fine. That too indicates that what you have here is some complex interdependency in your own code that is tripping you up.

Some points that may help:

- A beep in Windows is the system's way of telling you that an event was not handled. This could occur, for example, if you return False to indicate that you haven't handled it, and no EditField has the focus, so it goes on up to the window and then to the app, without being handled. (I notice that you ARE calling SetFocus in your KeyDown handler, so that's probably involved.)

- When things stop working in a new version of RB, it's very often because your code was previously relying on some bug that has been fixed, or undocumented feature that has changed. Of course it's also possible that you've found some new bug; such things happen. But don't assume that's the case; in my days of helping to support RB users, usually complaints like yours turned out to be something wrong in the user's code.

- If you can't reproduce it in a simple app, it generally means that the problem is not what you think it is; the piece you plucked out of your full app either wasn't the problematic piece, or was only a part of it. You need to dig deeper and pin down exactly what's causing the problem.

- If going bottom-up (building a simple example from scratch) doesn't do it, then go top-down: make a copy of your project, and start ripping things out of it until you've eliminated everything that doesn't make the bug go away.

Its a same to have to buy another version when they all should produce
good executables. You would think.

I would indeed, and they do, and you don't need to buy another version. You can use the remote debugger, and in some ways this is actually better than running the IDE on the development machine. The only way in which it's not is when you need lots of fast iterations of tweaking UI or platform-specific behavior.

One more thing: please explain why we all need to read this:

Personally, I don't see it, but maybe there's some value here that I'm missing. If not, then please trim your posts. I understand you're upset, but annoying the very people you're asking for help via poor list manners isn't generally productive. :)

Best,
