I'm doing a little programming in Delphi, having been away from it for 15 years or more, and, I'm having a problem. It has to do with the location and declaration of procedures within a form. the procedures are loaded when the form is created. The basic source, reduced for size is below: I've spent all day and end up with from 7 to 40 compile errors.
Does anyone see anything obviously out of whack with the placement or declaration of the procedures? and can anyone suggest why the Case faults on ItemIndex 2?

Thanks, Dik

//** procedure AddRand ********************************************************
//
// Procedure determines two addends and provides the sum. The addends are
// individually less than the value maxadd and the sum is less than the
// value maxans%. These values are passed to the procedure by a COMMON
// SHARED statement.
//
// PARAMETERS: add1 = first addend
// add2 = second addend
// sum = sum of addends
//

randomize;
add1 := Random(maxadd + 1);

WHILE (sum > maxans) do
begin

sum := add1 + add2;
end;
end; This is a typical procedure...



//** procedure SubRand ********************************************************
//
// Procedure determines two numbers and provides the diference. The numbers
// are individually less than the value maxsub% and the difference is less
// than the value maxans%. These values are passed to the procedure by a
// COMMON SHARED statement.
//
// PARAMETERS: minu = minuend
// subt = subtrahend
// diff = minuend - subtrahend

//** procedure MulRand *******************************************************
//
// Procedure determines two numbers and provides the product. The numbers
// are individually less than the value maxmul% and the product is less than
// the value maxans%. These values are passed to the procedure by a COMMON
// SHARED statement.
//
// PARAMETERS: mulp = multiplier

end;



//** procedure DivRand *******************************************************
//
// Procedure determines a dividend and a divisor and provides the quotient.
// The numbers are individually less than the value maxdiv% and the quotient
// is not bounded, but with a normal value of maxdiv%, it is likely less
// than the value maxans%. These values are passed to the procedure by a
// COMMON SHARED statement.
//
// PARAMETERS:
// divd = dividend
// divs = divisor
// quo = quotient
//
procedure DivRand (divd:integer; divs:integer; quo:integer);

end;
End;



//** procedure EqualRand ******************************************************
//
// Procedure randomly generates two numbers and determines the logical
// comparison between them using a random generated comparison. It returns
// two numbers, the equality sysbol, and and a logical true or false for the
// values generated. The maximum values are passed to the procedure by being
// in scope.
//
// PARAMETERS: num1 = first number
// num2 = Second number
// eqal = Random equality sysbol
// 1 denotes <
// 2 denotes =
// 3 denotes >
// logi = 1 denoted True
// 0 denotes False
//

logi := 3;
end;
end;

Thanks... I try to limit the scope of variables... the ones noted are from the configuration form that established upper limits for the problems.

I'm holding off on finishing this for a bit... thanks very much for your assistance... I realised that it's time for a bit of a refresher and I'm currently going through Marco Cantu's Object Pascal Handbook for Berlin. About a third of the way through it, so far. I think I need the refresher more...

Thanks
