Tracy -

Thanks, actually I've have a substantial collection of books, and have learned alot from them. As mentioned earlier the Hentzenwerks books are exceptionally helpful, I also have a large collection of Delphi Books and again have learned a good deal.

What I expected from the post was a "jump start", sort of an outline of steps. My mistake...

You need to do this....

Since I haven't written my first OOP program, there are a lot of questions that will come up, as most programmers know, once you put the first puzzle to together to rest are easy.

If you don't ask the right questions, you can't get the right answers. I obviously haven't asked the right questions.

I picked two of the "procedures" I new would be difficult to convert as guidelines.

I was hoping the forum would shorten the learning curve.

I have respect for your knowlege and the time it took to gain.

Thanks for trying to help...
