 BB> Any suggestions here ? I need to be able to know wether the

BS>Instead of trying to trap the exception, why not stop the problem befor

BS>In Delphi 1, that would be ...
BS>if FileSearch(f1Name,'') = '' then  { f1Name is name of file }
BS>begin
BS>  { handle problem of missing file }
BS>end ;
This however will not solve the problems of
- files > 32K
- disk read errors
- other failures in reading the file.
What's more, I dont want the users to see this nagging default exception 
handler.
Should I replace the LoadFromFile method with my own ??
