c_str() is a function and can't be assigned a value. You can cast the character pointer to an ansistring though. char CharBuf[100]; AnsiString Value; FileRead(FilePtr, &CharBuf, 99); CharBuf[100] = NULL; Value = (AnsiString)CharBuf; I can't remember, but I don't think you even need the...

Could you post more code? Like where are you using the try/catch block? Who's throwing the exception? etc... Chris

Can you post the code? Instead of using memcpy, you could also bitwise OR them. int x=0; x = (int)((unsigned short int)byte1 | (((unsigned short int)byte2) << 8)); This produces a word from two bytes, then casts it to an int. Chris

You said it works okay on windows 98 if you compile under version 6.0? It sounds like a compiler version issue, but it could be an MFC version issue. Maybe contact Borland with this info and they can look into it. Chris

You can create a header structure in the file that contains information about what's in the file. i.e. you might store how many sound clips are in the file, the sizes of each clip, and properties of each clip. Then use the header information to access items in the file. Chris

It depends largely on the file type. You could split it as long as it's a raw format and as long as you place the correct header data in the new file. If it is compressed, it becomes much more difficult, but still do-able. I agree with Totte. It would be better time spent to find a program...

I'm no database expert either, but I think that some of them put the database into memory, and changes must be committed (i.e. saved to file) before they get saved. That way, moving things in memory is fast. I could be wrong though, just seems like I read that somewhere. Chris

AnsiString CurDir = GetCurrentDir(); AnsiString NewDir = CurDir + "\\NewDirectory"; CreateDir(NewDir); Chris

I would check out the MSDN pages at Microsoft. I don't think Borland has that capability inherently (at least not up to version 6.0). You'll have to call a Microsoft MFC function or something out of an SDK they might have for download. Chris

As a simple example: MyClass.h file class MyClass : TObject { private: TNotifyEvent FOnSomething; public: __published: __property TNotifyEvent OnSomething = {read=FOnSomething, write=FOnSomething}; }; MainForm.h file class TMainForm : TForm { //usual stuff here... MyClass...

This is a little tricky. It depends on how you use the thread. If you are going to create the thread many times in a program instance, you need to be careful. If you just create the thread when the program starts up and destroy the thread when the program ends, you can just call Terminate()...

I would think you could write a simple bit of executable code that's only job is to delete another set of files when you're done with them, copy that executable into memory and run it from there. This is what some viruses do. Chris

Not off the top of my head, but if you check out tucows or download.com, you will be sure to find something. Chris

Maybe you should be performing some actions. Generally, a crash like that would be some object, class, or COM that was not correctly destroyed. Do you have anything dynamic that you're creating or threads that are executing?

Make them an AVI in another program. Then load them into a TAnimation object.
