Dear All,

I have a number of threads which contains a timer which performs a process
on the OnTimer event.

What happens is that when I close my application I get an AV.

I basically put this down to the fact that the process in my OnTimer event
within the Thread accesses some element on the form (which has been closed
down).

The Question is

Do I put something in the thread that checks if Application has been closed?
or
When I close the app, I set the Terminate property of the threads fired up
so they will terminate on their own?

if I pick the second option I then have to keep tabs on all the threads I
create.

What should I do?

Many thanks in advance.

Mark
