Please get back to Grace and ask her if she has emailed to "no address given".
This tidbit raises even more questions for me - were the people who set up this message template not the same people that filled it? Did the
C++ Builderdevelopers purchase this thing and then not fill it properly? Or is IT at Grace's employment to blame?Admin
Ahh, C++ Builder! Seems to be just as crap is it's sister product RAD Studio for Delphi. It too would throw random errors when trying to build, that disappeared on the next build (or you might get a completely different fake error on the next build, compiling felt more like playing a slot machine). Though at least it didn't output the errors as HTML source code...
The IDE's form editor (the main reason you would use it) is so bad that we will sometimes open a form's source code in Notepad++ and edit it by hand. It's legitimately faster and easier.

It also has one of my pet hates: an error message ending in an exclamation mark. To me, "Object not found!" is equivalent to "Object not found, you idiot."
