All last day I am debugging a real strange error. When I start my
project within Delphi, I get an access violation in some method of a
class. I can't say what really happens: Debugging into the Create-method
of that class I can break at the begin statement. When I go further I am
gone...
Another strange thing: When I start that exe from the explorer
everything is okay!

I also tried to use that class in a new project without anything else
and it works even when I start it from Delphi.

So I really don't know what else to try. Any hints - any experiences?

Hans-Peter:

I've experienced something of the same trying to call a dll written i C++
from Delphi 3.0. I got access violation when running my app. through
Delphi, but it all works fine when I run the app. from elsewhere!! I
stepped through the code inside Delphi and it all works fine. When I run
without stepping I get access violation!!

I moved the project to another computer and all works fine. (Both computers
are Pentium 133 with 32MB RAM)

Hans-Peter,

sounds like an error at the place where you create the offending object,
not an error in the constructor. If now use the syntax

  anobj.Create...

replace it with

  anobj := someclass.Create...

The first syntax calls the constructor as a normal method on an already
existing object instance, the second creates a new object instance and
assigns its reference to the anObj variable.
