My base form for browsing and searching data consists of three main
components:

1) A group box where numerous TIB_Edit, TIB_Date, ... components are placed
on,
simply to enter some search criterias, when TIB_Query is in dssSearch State.

2) Below of this group box there is a TIB_Grid where the matching records
for 1)
are displayed.

3) A TPanel with different TIB_*Bars.

The user can open the dataset without specifying search criterias in 1). Now
he can push
a button and TIB_Query goes into dssSearch state. At this point the dataset
is closed and
he can enter search criterias in 1). So, it would be a nice to have, when
the user could see
the last matching records during the definition of a new search criteria.

I'm aware of using non-data-aware controls and OnPrepareSQL. But I would
like to
implement as many functionality as possible in the base form, where all
other browse
forms are derived from.

Thanks
Thomas
