    hi,

    First of all thanks for you TFindFile. Excellent work.

    Can you please update your DEMO to reflect changes in TFindFile V4.0. Demo can’t be compiled with new version of TindFile.

    Keep up the good work 🙂

    Best regards,

    Joze

    Hi Joze,

    You’re very welcome!

    I have already updated the demo for the new release. I downlaoded and compiled it once again with Delphi 7 and it was okay.

    What is your version of Delphi?

    Be sure, you do not have the old dcu files and DELPHIAREA.INC in your Delphi search path.

    Hi Kambiz,

    everything is OK. It was my error with DEMO (old dcu’s on search path)…

    Thanks again.

    Best regards from Slovenia
