Raivo, you need to give a bit (or a lot!) more information re the version of fpc, the unit(s), and include the part of your program that's showing the fault if you want some suggestions... Regards John

Also Window will never be refreshed before work is done. All you know that. This is not serious problem. But what are ways to overcome this? Is using Windows timers for frequent short delays only solution? How this is done in commercial programs? thaks for help, Raivo This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
