Hi Geoff,

thanks for reply !

What I wanted to getting work is to use fetSQLType in the same
manner as fetDomainName.

If I set IB_Connection.FieldEntryTypes := [fetDomainName] , and then
put an entry in IB_Connection.ColumnAttributes like VARCHAR=YESLIKE
this works fine !

I thought, it would work the same way if I set IB_Connection.FieldEntryTypes := [fetSQLType]
and in IB_Connection.ColumnAttributes I put entry like
VARCHAR=YESLIKE


Am I totally wrong ?

Thanks,
Harald
