Hello,
I've been playing around with IB Objects lately, evaluating it
for an up and coming project. Once you get past the shock factor
of the x number of properties and realise there's an in-built
component editor, things start looking a little better! :)

Anyway, to keep in-line with minimizing network traffic, I'm
planning to have browse screens with grids containing maybe 2-5
columns containing some useful information for the user to pick
a particular record to view the details of. The actual detailed
view of the record may contain 20 odd fields for editing/adding
or perusing.

So, I have a basic query for the browse screen such as:

SELECT BuyerCode, BuyerName
FROM Buyers

My question is, once a user selects a record to get the details
for, is there a smarter way of getting the other details for
that record (for adding/editing/browsing) than having a second
query's MasterSource set to the first query and executing a
query such as:

SELECT * FROM Buyers
FOR UPDATE
WHERE BuyerCode = :BuyerCode

Is this the way to go about it, or is there some "magic" that
IBO has?

I've come from the crude BDE background of SELECT * FROM table,
and only show the particular columns in the grid.

Thanks in advance,

Mark
