The following works fine:

CName := Query.FieldValues['Name'];

where "CName" is declared as a "string".

I just recently switched from C++ Builder 5 to Delphi 6 and am still
learning Delphi, so it may be something that i am unknowingly doing. Since
the above is working i will stick to that for now, unless anyone has a
reason for me not too.
