If you're putting that much effort into doing something the language wasn't designed for, you have to ask yourself two things: 1) Are you using the right language? 2) Why not just accept what the normal is (ie why bother making it case-insensitive)?

You already did it in your other post: $new_url = $row["rpt_path"]; header("Refresh: 1; url=$new_url");

How about trying it and seeing if it works?

You don't need ShareMem, that's only for if you're passing dynamic strings, you have no strings in your function.

Try using variables to make it easier to read eg, NL:Char; q:String; s:string; NL := chr(13); s := 'some text'; q := Concat('This is line 1',NL,'This is line 2 with text ',s; You could define NL as a constant.

There's no strings there.

How about using the OnChange event and checking if it's the right length before looking it up?

a) Try it and find out, that's the easy way. b) Try looking at some example code somewhere. c) The function's not called include for nothing.

Have a form-less unit with a variable Modal_Open:Integer; Make each form use that unit and in the OnShow events of each modal window put inc(Modal_Open); In the OnClose event put dec(Modal_Open); Then if you want to know if any are open, check for Open_Modal = 0

I come across this problem pretty much every other program I write because I always forget, if you define the length of a string (so you can write it to a file) it keeps anything that isn't overwritten. eg. Blob:String[15]; Blob := 'I'm saying hi'; Blob := 'Hi'; then write it to a file, would...

My documentation doesn't have any disads, but then again it's not exactly the latest version (Delphi 3). It just says that Application.Terminate does exactly the same as closing the main form.

I always use Terminate, and it's never failed me, maybe it's one of the components you're using still running (one of the database ones?)

To close all forms when one is closed just use application.terminate in the OnClose event. Works for me, but it doesn't give you too much control over what happens (or it does and I just don't know).

One quick question, how will playing a .wav file help you to open a modem connection?

Get a better quality Bitmap maybe?
