Have you checked the Windows API help for getting all top-level windows? Cheers

The DPF file is, in fact, a unit. For form-based window applications, its job is to create the main form (and other autocreated forms) and call Application.Run. For console applications, you can put any code you want after the 'begin'. Try File | New | Other | Console Application. As for your...

I want to remove trailing spaces from text inside a table. Outside of a table, I use FindText:=" ^p",ReplaceText:="^p", but as the delimiter for cell data is not a paragraph mark, I don't know how to phrase it. Cheers

I want to search and replace in MS Word using their special characters to indicate the edge of a table cell. ^p stands for a paragraph, but that does not work (regardless of what RTF looks like). Cheers

Aside from using a DBMS-specific command (e.g. LOAD) and INSERTing data from other tables, you have to insert things one row at a time. However, you can use query parameters instead of composing the text lexagraphically: with ThisQuery do begin SQL.Text := 'INSERT INTO ' + TableName + '...

While you are searching, insure the correct result: DecodeDate(DateTimePicker1.DateTime, ThisYear, ThisMonth, ThisDay); sMonth := IntToStr(ThisMonth); if ThisMonth < 10 then sMonth := '0' + sMonth; Cheers

I do things like SetLength(ThisString, 1000); // call an API function that stuffs something in PChar(ThisString) SetLength(ThisString, StrLen(PChar(ThisString))); Cheers

I don't understand why you need two (2) try..except blocks. while not RS.EOF do begin try ItemList.LoadFromFile(SomeFile); // do other things except // don't care what went wrong end RS.MoveNext; end; Cheers

If you are asking how to communicate between forms, try treating the form as a class (which it is). Add a property to the form class itself: type TForm2 = class(TForm) ... // stuff that the IDE automatically puts in private function GetSelectedValue : String; public...

You also might want to put the keyword "private" at the top so it would look something like this: type TModule = class(TObject) private StudentName: string; .... The "TObject" thing is implicit, but I like to put it in to make it clear what I am descending from. Another...

http://www.intsysr.com/dtdchart.htm has one. It looks great, but my irrational aversion to Java (and VB) will be my downfall <s>. If you find a different one (i.e. native Windows), please let me know. Cheers

Can one configure AOL to handle "mailto:..." requests? Has anything changed since thread605-90409? Cheers

I've seen suggestions to have two different log-ins. You also could try to have two different desktop icons and specify the profile in each (I think that different profiles can have different connection configurations). Cheers

Note that MS-SQL will return .IsNull = False for VarChar fields even when the column has never has anything assigned to it; you have to check .AsString <> ''. (Also note that FieldByName is a function and uses parentheses not square brackets) Cheers

try TFileStream.Create(AFileName, fmOpenRead + fmShareExclusive).Free; except on E:EDontDoThatError do begin Someone is using it. end; end; Cheers
