>The guy from IS called me and he himself could not say what he did <g>. He just kept saying "This is what I did, what I could" (exactly his words in a very accented English). The funny thing is I asked him if the original database is SQL server and he could not answer. The good thing is that in addition to converting tables to Paradox he also converted tables to MS Access. So I have a bunch of .MDB files too.

Hi Dmitry,

Do you know, I just got into a very embarassing moment. I recently (before going on vacation) introduced a new requested feature in my application, which worked fine in my test environment.

The application is a HelpDesk application for IT people. They just call me into the conference room and in the life environment the main form doesn't want to close. They had to do Ctrl+Alt+Del to exit the application...

I have a suspicion that I introduced a dangling object reference...
