Don't have the details in front of me but have a look at TField.OnGetText

Wherever the field gets displayed it will call on its OnGetText event if it
has been defined. In that event you can reformat you field into what ever
string format you like.
Hope this helps,

Currently none.
Versions from Delphi 2 to Delphi XE (except for Delphi 8) compile to Win32.
Embarcadero has released a beta version of their 64-bit compiler to
beta testers. You can assume that this version will be out later this
year.

Just checking the Embarcadero newsgroups, it seems this can happen

Generally speaking, access violation occur when you are trying to
access an object that doesn't exist (anymore). Since you get this
error when closing the main form, it is very likely the program is
trying to access an object that has already been freed (prematurely).

From Andrea's blogpost, code-completion also continues to works after
compiles.
I haven't installed it yet but I am waiting for it to come out of beta. And
when it does, it'll be on my PC faster than a normal code-completion
process!

Depending upon your class relationship, can you reduce it to one class per unit?
If you have such large methods (200 lines seems like is a lot!), you

I could probably be totally off-track, but why don't you check the

and place the datamodule as the first item (or at least before the
