Well, that event (BeforeOpen ) is the one Helen suggested many times
as the better place where do this, AFAIR.
I thought that was great having a centralized place that feeds the
query with the correct, up to dated, parameters value, so everywhere I
need "fresh data" I can refresh the query and the query gets the
correct values.
Like OnPrepareSQL is the correct place to "fine tuning" SQL selects
that can't be handled by simply parameters, would be good having a
similar place for parameters updates.
The problem is, as I discovered, that event is not always good.
So, what do you and Helen think about this request of "central
parameter management"?
As a general roule, this would ease developement, bug fixing and code
maintenance, I think.
