This may be pretty basic, but I have yet to find anything that
works. When my program gets an exception, it pops up a message
box, and pauses the program. Is there a way to turn that off?
I'm sure there is, because I've heard it mentioned in the online
help, but it doesn't really tell you HOW.

My program is using a drive combo box linked to a dir list box,
etc., and when I choose drive a when there is no disk, it first
tells me there's no disk, but when I hit cancel, I get a stupid
exception. I don't want this to stop the program.

Help!

There's an environment option in the Preferences page, Debugging section.
If you don't want the program interrupted, uncheck "Break on exception"

From the delphi menu Options|Environment, select the preferences tab
and turn off 'break on exception' in the Debugging box.
