Thanks for the reply Helen. I did more testing and found that if I
loaded a "new application" (file/new application), that I could close
Delphi down normally. (now thinking not a delphi/windows issue)

So I loaded one of the IBO tutorials...again normal close.
(now thinking not an IBO problem)

Reloaded my test app...errors on shutdown...hmmmm...(now thinking a
problem specific to my app).

I've had wierd problems in the past which were resolved by starting a
new project, then adding all the forms and modules, resetting
options; so I did this with my IBO test app - now no problems.
Strange, but everything is okay now (I would sure like to know what
caused it, but *whatever*). I will be building more functionality
into my app with IBO components, still a rather steep learning curve,
but so far so good. (I am planning on porting from MySQL with ZEOS
to Firebird with IBO)

Thanks for your time.
