I knew that. Not confused at all about that. Just want it (the
master-detail link in the UNMODIFIED BDE fashion)to work as
advertised. Following your directions is the confusing part.

SO .... Make it work like the native BDE components do. As
advertised all over the web page.

Essentially it boils down to TIBO datasets and by inheritance TIBO
queries are not setting their datalinks properties properly with the
native datasource components (or handling them). Not knowing the
logic used in the TIBO code (and not needing to), I am not in a
position to fix vendor supplied code. Those who work with the IBO
internals and having time to do so could easily fix this to match
the functionality provided in the BDE components and in the TIB
components.
