a template and opened it up and the top left was still (2,2). So then I
saved the…You're right Ed. I didn't see it until now, these lines cause Win98 to run

The problem is reproducable only at Delphi design time in D6, and where a
database BDE/ADO connection can't be found on the datamodule. However, it
can be found when it is on another form. We're working on a fix for the

When you create the region, you can call Region.SendToBack and it will push
