Helen,

H> TIBODataset has two column layers: one the VCL's persistent fields and the
H> other the TIB_Columns of the InternalDataset. The trick is: Don't use
H> persistent fields!

This won't make a difference. Do you have any figures that show
otherwise?

H> Teach yourself not to use scrolling datasets for batch operations on
H> data.

Yep. In fact, it's a non-issue.

Ciao
