Dear Everybody,
I'm trying to create a component package in CBUILDER5 using a database connection done from the MAIN program. So I've seen the sample of IBC_SEACHGRID that do the same, but using DATASET from MAIN program.

Attached there is the code I've written for doing such a thing, but, unfortunately, sometimes works, sometimes not. In any case, when i put in the package the IB_NAVIGATION_BAR i obtain an error.

There is somebody who can give me some datails on how operate?
Many thanks to all.
