Well, that only shows the units specifc to the application itself... I figured out that the reason this unit was brought in was via another unit that *is* used since it contains declarations of the different data records and classes handled by the server and the client. In this unit that extra unit is listed in uses since it contains stuff needed by functions inside this unit itself (but not needed by the client application). So there seems to be a chain reaction concerning units involved in the application -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
