Thanks Ralph. (and others) It looks like DLL's are the way to go. I just tried a simple example I found on the web but that didn't include a forms in the DLL. Still have to figure how to do that bit. I assume you can only run and debug the DLL by running the main application that calls it? Just getting my head around it all. :-) David... -- ___________________________________________ David Duffy Audio Visual Devices P/L Unit 8, 10 Hook St, Capalaba 4157 Australia Ph: +61 7 38235717 Fax: +61 7 38234717 New Web: www.audiovisualdevices.com.au ___________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
