Hi Paul,

I removed the (!) from the if (FileCreate("c:\\CProjects\\test.txt")) and I
still receive an exception 'Cannot open file "c:\CProjects\test.tct"' '
...although if I opened the CProjects directory from windows explorer I can
see the file has been created, and if I restarted the program and tried to
use the code "LoadFromFile" Nothing  happens and everything is ok, I really
don't know why this happens, does it takes some time before the program can
feel that the file has been created..!!!, or what I am doing wrong
exactly...

thanks...
