That's why I found it better to send a patch in this case (I attach the one
with Charlie's changes). You will see that he switched a setting in the
project properties:

  +ControlPublic=1

which makes all controls on all forms public variables (they're private by
default for reasons of sanity). With this setting enabled, your problem is
trivial as you see.

I think Charlie wanted you to find that setting by yourself. I think this is
a bit unfair as the setting is well hidden in the project options dialog :-)

Regards,
Tobi
