I've been working with a Mouse unit and trashing through memory (literally). This of course often has the unpleasant side effect of locking up my PC and requires a reboot. The wierd thing is that now my "Make" functionality is broken. For example, I have: Unit One ... End. Unit Two ... End. Program Foo; Uses One, Two; Begin ... End. Now I'm sitting in Unit One and have made a change. I have the Primary file set to Foo and I issue a make. TP compile Foo but fails to notice that Unit One has changed. I have to manual unset the primary file and compile Unit One, reset primary file and remake. Now the program is properly updated. Why is make broken and how can I fix it?

Try saving the changed code before issuing the Make, and see if that corrects the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brendt Hess a.k.a. | Disclaimer: Opinions?

I would say TP's make _is_ broken in that sense that it has access to information about the integrated development environment (naming?) and is therefore able to spot unsaved files and ask the user what to do! I think the problem may be surcomvented by setting auto save on!
