I am having trouble using streams.  I need to store
the contents of a memo field in memory for a while.
Unfortunately, I get a Run-time error 210 when
I execute my code.  This error is useless to me, because
I can't find any help for run-time errors in the
online help facilities.  The following code is just
to demonstrate the error.  But if there is a better way
to store memo fields in memory dynamically, I'd love to
hear it.

To duplicate the error:  
add 2 memo fields to a form.  On a button_click, try the
following code:
var
  stream : TStream;
begin
  stream := TStream.create;
  memo1.lines.savetostream(stream);
  memo2.lines.loadfromstream(stream);
  stream.free;
end;

Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi,

Maybe the following will solve the problem,

  Stream : TMemoryStream;

  stream := TMemoryStream.Create;

{ Reset position of stream to zero }
  Stream.Position := 0;

I'm not sure if it works but you also could try to use Assign method to copy
one memo field to another:

memo2.lines.assign(memo1.lines);

I've never done anything with memo so again I'm not sure the above would work.

Hope this helps a little bit,
