Use of TMSStoredProc

okay, thanks. One last question. If all exceptions are derived from class Exception, then what is the purpose of using the "..." syntax? Is there some reason to prefer the 2nd example below?

Joe

try {}
catch (...) {}

instead of

try {}
catch (Exception &E) {}

From Delphi help: All VCL exception classes descend from one root object called Exception.

The second approach is useful when you need access to the exsception object. Also in some cases C++Builder has a memory leak for the first approach.

Really? Can you describe the situation in which C++ Builder will leak memory when the "(...)" syntax is used? I think that Codegear is saying they have fixed this problem, but I don't know if it's the same problem.

Antaeus,

I posted a description of the problem to the Codegear C++ Builder IDE newsgroup, and a member of TeamB says that this does seem to indicate a compiler problem. Thanks for the work-around, and for all of your help.
