> Yes, something like this, in case the above is not enough detail:

> var

> begin
>     // find the component, say the string is 'Button1'
>     rComp := FindComponent ('Button1');

>     if ( assigned (rComp) = true ) then   // we've got one!!
>        begin
>                rComp.Free ;     // nuke it
>                rComp := nil ;     // free (in D3) does not set ptr to
nil -
> just to be safe!
>        end ;

> end ;  // NukeIt

> Hope this helps.
