The main problem I'm having is that the code for copying a dataset into a
memory table or from a memory table (methods of TkbMemTable) detects if the
fields are of a supported type and then does a

TargetDataset.FielbyName('xxx').Value :=
SourceDataset.FielbyName('xxx').Value;

assignment. I Don't remember right now if uses FieldByName or FieldValues
or some other method but I don't think it would make a difference in this.

The *main* problem I see is that I've already switched my field to Integer
in Interbase but I still get the same problem. I'll try starting over this
from scratch and let you know how it turns out.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Mauricio Longo
