I guess I will turn on CodeGuard and see what's going on; I've never 
used it before.

Ok, so I run it, and I get an error immediately on startup that seems odd:

Method called on illegally casted object
    Attempt to access 4 byte(s) at 0x006AC05C.  The 'this' pointer 
points to a block 0x006AC05C(....) which is only 1 bytes long
    SETTINGS_FILE_NAME

And then points me to a problem in dstring.h

The SETTINGS_FILE_NAME is a constant string defined prior to my class 
definition as:
  String SETTINGS_FILE_NAME = 
ExtractFileDir(Application->ExeName)+"\\settings.ini";

What's wrong with that?
