Helen,

Yes. It's amazing what one can discover when he/she actually reads the
posts (even when they come from someone unable to express himself
clearly like me). ;-)

No. I had to use a TUpdateSQL with the BDE; I have now ditched it after
converting the query to IBO. I am doing quite a fine-grain conversion
process, almost one data module at a time, for reasons this list won't
be interested in.

I'll take note. What is the syntax, please?

In time I may be able to figure out an actual requirement for that.
Currently my goal is to have IBO build the update statements for me -
goal that I have met with KeyRelation and your help.

Again, I have left a door (wide?) open to misinterpretation, sorry.
I meant that currently I only have to mimic (with IBO) BDE behaviour, so
I don't need anything fancier.
BTW, if I were talking about the BDE, would I have posted to this list?
;-)
Ciao
