No I don't. But I think they no longer use the dll's, and because they create an application rather than a component they don't worr about compilers and cômponent installation etc.. so they can remove a lot of things that slow down the process. A lot of time is spend in collecting all the data and generating all the call-back's to the event handlers. Some of this is due to the architecture of dll-component-allpication. -- Roger.Aelbrecht http://www30.websamba.com/driehoeksw ----------- To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty e-mail message to: delphizip-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put the word unsubscribe in the subject.
