Hi Louis Regarding your shortcut problem, here's a link that might be helpful: http://www.codenewsfast.com/isapi/isapi.dll/article?id=9361D893&article=2318724 There are similar issues when using TFrame, by the way. Regards Uwe

To simply copy and paste the database and a handful of files for testing to a private directory is IMHO much easier than setting up a server and PHP on your machine at home. Just point your files and the database to your PHP directory on the remote server, and you're done. I always do that when I'm testing ...

Just out of curiosity: why don't you just simply test your pages on your remote server? Uwe

Depends on what you consider "slow". If you test Behold's speed against giant gedcom files with 100000+ individuals then this is a somewhat extreme case. How many genealogist out there really have such a big database? I guess it's less than 1% of your potential customers. Not that I want to prevent you from ...

The secret is not really a secret, Louis... . Do a feature freeze, get version 1.0 out, and keep all the good ideas you have (and you have a lot!) for later releases.

Adobe introduced XMP for PDF in 2001 and has since then used it in other products, too. To say that XML was ...

XML a new technology? You must have been hiding somewhere in the Canadian woods, Louis... ;-) Here is a link that might help: http://xml.coverpages.org/genealogy.html#gedML HTH Uwe

Even though FastMM is part of Delphi now, you can still incorporate the latest version from Sourceforge in your project and use the full debug capabilities. You won't find a better tool for tracing memory leaks, IMHO. AntiVirus software is usually the culprit when experiencing a slow Delphi start-up. I had ...

Hi Louis The best option you have is FastMM in full debug mode. Regarding the speed of D2009: it should be much faster than 16 secs to start it up. How much RAM do you have? VirtualShellTools are very powerful (I use them myself), but they have a steep learning curve and there's almost no documentation ...
