Hi Geoff!

Thanks for answering on my question.

I think the error was becouse the DisableControls and EnableControls methods
wasn't synhronised, I'm testing it too see if I get it again.

When I put the dataset in Search mode is it enough to issue the Cancel
method to put back in browse mode without searching the records.

Ok, at end I come to this code, is it right?
try
if Master.State <> dssSearch then // check if in search, if not then put
in search
Master.Search;
Master.ClearSearch; //clear the search criteria
Master.Cancel; // cancel the search
finally
Master.Active := True; // put back in dssBrowse, because if I cancel
the search it puts my dataset in dssPrepared
end;

No it is not a MDI application, becouse of nature of my program I use a
master Form with a TPanel component as a parent to displaying the other
forms and I use the TMainMenu Merge method to merge the Forms menu in the
master Forms menu.

I want to ask is there any free version of the IBObjects getting started
guide or any other source for learning it, becouse my wages here in
Yugoslavie are not so high about 100 USD for the month and unfortunately I
can't afford to pay for it.

At end I want to thank for Jason for making such a good component collection
and for you for making the enhanced components!
