Hi Ross,<br>
<br>
Have you perhaps thought that you have approached this in the wrong
way?<br>
It is clearly a mistake to maintain a list of TListItems external to
the TListView control. I believe you would be better off
maintaining your list of objects/records with the appropriate
structure, and then dynamically fill the TListView based on that
information.<br>
<br>
Check the help about virtual list views and the OnData event.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Bevan<br>

<br>
Clearly the problem is NOT that the items are being removed
from the list. Rather the items are being freed, (from
previous comments) in various places, yet not removed. <br>
<br>
Just because <span
style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">assigned(PlayView.Items[i])
is true, does not mean that that instance exists. It means
that the object pointer is not nil. Do you understand the
difference between a nil pointer and a pointer to memory
that is no longer in use?<br>
