Thank god the blade is free, Ive never been charged 4 some reason and this is over a yr. now and every day i get an hour (which i rarely use up) but i cant download anything...2 bad, would have loved 2 download a gif or 2 i think of some of the members on the blade, although 99.9 percent of its members r not my type. Im going 2 give u my address here in TO as u never know when all this free stuff will go away and I'd like 2 stay in touch if u want 2...235 Cassandra Blvd. TH 717, Don Mills, ON., M3A 1V3...OK? Go Yankees! I cant recall from ur note, was there anything else i forgot?...Stay intouch and have a good weekend. We r having company, Don's brother and wife r visiting from Ottawa.

It depends on you skills and on what you intend to do. Device driver, services, OCX and such low level programming is best done by Visual C/ C++.

Not to worry, Anders posted a message on the net explaining that he just got tired and needed a change. He also pointed out that he is quite confident that he has left Delphi development in his second-in-command's capable hands. What makes this interesting is that he posted this AFTER getting hired by Microsoft. His message implies continued growth through, at least, Delphi 4.5/5. I'm beginning to agree with others that we really don't have so much to worry about.

Hmm, TMemo is even worse than I thougt.. I will look these methods up, and try it. Thanks for your help.

Can I make my Delphi program create a dBase (III) file if it cannot find one present ? Or must ther be a dBase/Paradox/etc file present in order to be able to work with a tTable component ? 2. In the Object inspector you must fill in an "source" for the DBNavigator (or somthing like that). Must this be of type tTable. I.o.a. can I use the DBNavigatoe and DBeditfields (?) with an internal structure (array of records, that are easy and fast to use in small custom-made databases).
