Hi Gediminas,

I'll do the easy bit first and try to sort something out for the 'difficult'
bit later :o)

>> another (stupid?) question: what does it mean unidirectional dataset -
read
>> only? or what?

Unidirectional queries allow you to read them from start to finish and once
you have 'passed by' a record, you can't go back to it.
If you tie a query to a navbar and a grid, and set the query to be
unidirectional, then you can only use the next button on the nav bar. When
you reach EOF, the query closes.
This is probably handy for batch processing where you read through all the
records in a dataset from start to finish and process each one as you go.
It uses less resources on the server when defined as unidirectional.


Cheers,
Norman.
