What error were you seeing? Was the TDBGrid storing the filed type in its
columns somehow? I wasn't aware that it did this.

You are entitled to the fix as well. You just have to download the same file
again with the updates in it.

I suggest you wait until I redo the build with the 3.6 Da sub-release.

Yes, you will not be able to do this part of it. This benefit is for full
source users only.
If you want, send me an email requesting trustware access to the sources and
I'll send them to you.
