to frm:=TForm.create ?
I cant see any real advanatage in doing one over the other, but I could
be wrong.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks, Jeremy Coulter

Rohit, thanks for the response,
In sysutils, the fileage method does this :
FileTimeToLocalFileTime(FindData.ftLastWriteTime, LocalFileTime);
if FileTimeToDosDateTime(LocalFileTime, LongRec(Result).Hi,
LongRec(Result).Lo) then Exit;

Application.CreateForm is a method of TApplication that calls the
constructor (TForm.Create) of the form specified. The Application becomes
the form's owner.
Note: By default the form created by the first call to CreateForm in a
project becomes the applications main form.
If you did not call

Double backslash is needed in C style strings since the backslash acts as an
escape (for example \n is the carriage return character).
