Someone has to own the TTable, I believe.<br />
<br />
How about:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; TableDefaults := TTable.Create(Form1);<br />
<br />
You might need Form1.Handle...whatver type self is.<br />
<br />
If this works, please reject previous answer and invite me to repost this comment as an answer.<br />

<div>
You have to do this:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;TableDefaults:=TTable.Crea<wbr />te(TableDe<wbr />faults);<br />
<br />
This works.<br />

</div>


You have to do this:

   TableDefaults:=TTable.Create(TableDefaults);

This works.

How do I create a table in a unit (not a form)? When I try the following:-<br />
var<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; TableDefaults: TTable;<br />
begin<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; TableDefaults &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;:= TTable.Create(Self);<br />
I get an error - Undeclared identifier 'Self'<br />
Am I neglecting to put a unit in the uses clause?<br />
