I don't remember reading in the original post that Vikas needed the function in a multi-threaded app?<br>In fact, the original FloatToStrF that Vikas used in his original post is the non-threaded version, so I think it is reasonable to assume that he was using it in a single threaded fashion. But thanks for pointing out how useless <b>Format ( Const Formatting : string; Const Data : array of
const) : string; </b>is for multi-threaded situations.<br><br>Regards,<br>Colin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 4 March 2010 08:07, Cameron Hart <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Cameron.Hart@flowsoftware.co.nz">Cameron.Hart@flowsoftware.co.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Atleast use the thread safe version<br>

function Format ( Const Formatting : string; Const Data : array of<br>
