That is the same as...

You need to call: Test.Free; > Pest:=nil; Pest was just a reference pointer to the first instance, so no need to free it. But setting it to nil after Test was freed is a good habit. If you wanted real reference counted objects that gets freed automatically when nothing is referencing it, then create a descendant of TInterfacedObject. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
