Looking at world-net, it is cheaper in some cases, but not in all. Xnet is pay for what you use, if you don't use all 30gb, you don't get charged for it. If you have Full speed up and down, xnet will usually be cheaper. Regards Sean Cross IT Systems Development Manager Catalyst Risk

Never rely on this. With optimisations on, for loops often start at the high number and work down. The variable can also be stuck in a register, which can be trashed on leaving the loop. In short, it is undefined. Regards Sean Cross IT Systems Development Manager Catalyst Risk Management

Which leads me to another point, It would be nice (and maybe Delphi does) have class variables reintroduced in subclasses ie TSingleton = class public class var Instance; end; TSingletonA = class(TSingleton) ) TSingletonB = class(TSingleton) ) do a B 'share' Instance?

With Sqlite, you can stick the dll in your app directory, or you can embed it in your app. In either case you are fine. If you stick the dll in a shared directory, then you might be in trouble. Don't know about firebird, but you should be ok with the dlls in the app directory. Regards Sean
