Svein,

No that's not what I mean, and no I don't think my question has been
answered yet. So I think my question was not very clear. I'll try again:

I just want IBobject to generate an UPDATE SQL based on the actual changed
fields of my dataset

So when I change only "lastname" I would IBobjects to produce the following
update statement:

UPDATE orders SET lastname = :lastname WHERE orderID = ID

in stead of
UPDATE orders SET lastname =:lastname,
firstname=:firstname,orderID=:id,achived=:archived WHERE orderID = ID

Greetings,

Leon
