Subject Newbie and Master-Detail
Author Phil Henningsen
I have a very large and very slow Delphi 5 app that I am just starting to
convert to IB Objects.

It currently uses IB Express and InfoPower grids (16 of them).

I started using IB Objects yesterday. :-)

I'm using the TIB_components: Connection, Transaction, Query, DataSource &
Grid.

So far I've done some "speed trials" with a single grid. VERRY impressive!

Many of the grids are Master-Detail, like the MasterLinks example (which
compiles and runs fine).

I am testing with a very small extract of my program that now contains 2
queries and 2 grids.


The problem is: The user requires that the MasterLink field , which is
ACCOUNT always be displayed in UPPER case. And the actual database field
is in *lower* case. It is very convenient to use the CharCase Field
Property to UPPER case it for display.

But if I do that, the MasterLink Param is also passed in UPPER case rather
than in the *actual* case of the field in the database. And therefore, no
matches.

Can anyone suggest some simple solutions?

Thanks,
