AnsiString and UnicodeString don't have that limitation and they are reference counted just like dynamic arrays. The type of "String" depends on the current settings: - $H-: String = ShortString (this is the default for all modes except the Delphi ones) - $H+ and "$modeswitch unicodestrings-": String = AnsiString (or AnsiString(CP_ACP) to be precise) (this is the default for mode Delphi) - $H+ and "$modeswitch unicodestrings+": String = UnicodeString (this is the default for mode DelphiUnicode) If I had to guess you were probably doing something with the arrays they weren't designed for. :/ Regards, Sven
