Does anybody know Delphi?

Yes, lots of people know Delphi. ;-) Yes, it is event-driven, but it's more similar to VB.NET or C#, in that it allows you to see and manipulate the plumbing that makes everything work. VB, on the other hand, hides the details from you; it works by "magic."

Well, I'm no Delphi expert, but I know that (as in C# and VB.NET) when you design a form in the form designer, it actually generates code to create the controls and set their properties at runtime. This code is visible in your project; if you modify the code, the changes are reflected in the forms designer and vice-versa. In VB6, on the other hand, the code to generate the controls is hidden from you.

Access violations mean the program is trying to access memory that doesn't belong to it. Look for out-of-bounds array references (that is, trying to access the 11th element of a 10-element array) or operations that copy a block of memory into a container that's too small to hold it. It could also be a bug in a third-party component.

Thanks, guys!

We get various access violations and it usually happens when we click around too quickly (like clicking on a Report Builder report and then clicking another component of the application). We DON'T seem to get them when we sneak up on the puter and click on something after everything else has loaded.

I wish I could say it was the Report Builder, but it happens in other areas of the app as well.
