OK...I feel like an idiot, but would someone please explain what I'm
doing wrong here.  I need to store objects in a TStringList.  I found
that if the object is of type TObject, I would lose access to the
object's information as soon as the function lost focus.  Therefore, by
recommendation of another Delphite, I descend from TComponent so the
form takes care of destroying the objects.  Maybe somewhere along these
lines I'm going wrong.  Here's the code...

type
  PhoneTypeInfo = class(TComponent)
  Code: String[2];
  Description: String[10];
end;

  PhoneTypes := TStringList.Create;
  PhoneTypestable := PhoneBookDB.OpenRecordset( 'PhoneTypes' );
  PhoneTypestable.Index := 'PrimaryKey';
  PhoneTypeCount := PhoneTypestable.RecordCount;
  PhoneTypestable.MoveFirst;

  for i := 1 to PhoneTypeCount do
  begin
    PhoneTypeRec := PhoneTypeInfo.Create(self);
    PhoneTypeRec.Code := PhoneTypestable.Fields['Code'].Value;
    PhoneTypeRec.Description :=  
        PhoneTypestable.Fields['Description'].Value;
//OK right here!
    PhoneTypes.AddObject( PhoneTypeRec.Code, PhoneTypeRec );
//Info GONE!
    PhoneTypestable.MoveNext;
  end;

Right after I AddObject, I can no longer see PhoneTypeRec.Description OR
the value of Description from within the stringlist.  What gives???

Thanks for any help in advance,

        When referencing Object you need to typecast it back to the type that it is to
see it's specific properties.
