Hi Dirk,
That certainly clarifies it - thank you. I had, wrongly, assumed that it was
the thread performing the SendData when, as you pointed out, it's the main
thread doing the work.
Should I be worried about my main thread "dipping" into a method of the
thread object - even though the thread object never uses the method?
Many thanks, much appreciated
Regards
Richard
