All of the properties work fine except for one (CountForever). When I put in code to access that property the compiler says E2316 'CountForever' is not a member of 'TElapsedTimer' However, CountForever does appear on the Object Inspector and I can set its value there. Any thoughts? (I'm on BDS2006, SP2.) Thanks.

Quote: E2316 'CountForever' is not a member of 'TElapsedTimer' Is TElapsedTimer's unit included in the uses clause correctly? Do you have any other component also named TElapsedTimer installed, by chance? Or maybe you have old DCUs of your component laying around where CountForever did not exist yet?

That must have been it, though I don't know why CountForever appeared in the Object Inspector. I looked around for all old versions and got rid of them, rebuilt and reinstalled the component and then it worked. By the way, how do you delete a component from the tool palette? That choice is greyed out on the pop-up menus for all objects on that palette. Also, is there a way of finding out what files (source, object, etc.) a component on the palette is using? "Properties" on a components pop-up menu in the Object Inspector doesn't do it. Thanks.

Quote: That must have been it, though I don't know why CountForever appeared in the Object Inspector. Because the Object Inspector gets its values from the component's actually RTTI. But that may not be what is actually linked into the executable during compiling if you have multiple DCUs hanging around. Quote: By the way, how do you delete a component from the tool palette? Uninstall its package from the IDE, or at least disable it. Quote: Also, is there a way of finding out what files (source, object, etc.) a component on the palette is using?
