FindFirst fails under Win2K when called from inside a thread.
FindFirst fails under Win2K when called from inside a thread.
The error message says that an Access Violation has occurred in NTDLL.DLL. I have traced this in the debugger and the failure occurrs on a CMP instruction.
Does anyone have any clues?

Thanks Inthe,
After reading the Google comments I decided to abandon the FileFirst, FileNext, FileClose construct anyway and use a hidden TFileListBox. I'm only interested in the first file that appears in the chosen directory (which is ultimately moved to another directory) and call the Update method on each Thread pass.
I found another problem which is annoying as well. I have a descendant TFileStream class which I use often. Under Win2K and WinXP the inherited Read method does not return the number of bytes read. Instead it returns the number bytes requested.
