In Delphi it's defined in the project options, I'm not very familar with BCB, sorry. > > Since this is going to go in a thread within a service app, I had > intended to create my thread, create and start the ftp server and then > block (WaitForMultipleObjects) until the FTP server reports that new > files have arrived.

In your ThreadProc create the component and call GetMessage(), TranslateMessage() and DispatchMessage in a loop. Anything else can either be done from the ICS events, or from handlers of custom messages posted to Thread, i.e. to stop or start the server etc. -- Arno Garrels [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html > > I use my own thread class, rather than the VCL Thread class and when > executing I just sit inside a while/WaitForMultipleObjects loop until > the terminate event is received.
