Now Ian from home adding stuff

We Realise some of the stuff isnt perfect in this project but It
works and
we havent time to rewrite it all so I would have been great if it had
all
kept going when we tried a conversion and we Accecpt that IBO is not
wrong
just that BDE ones are real loose and We have used this in a number of
places
eg When you want the user to be able to select certain records in BDE
stuff
you can add a fake column to your SQL " ' ' Selected " Dump on A
TcachedUpdate and turn on CachedUpates and you have an editable
record BDE
stuff dosent care if The TUpdateSql has any Queriers in it so we didnt
bother as all the work is done by stepping thru the selected records
and
often the only value used from the selected query is the PK for that
query

Hope these extra notes are of some help for you in getting to the
bottom of
it
Regards Ian
