hello Helen,

ok, let's resume:

The SQL statement of the query connected to the datasource that is
connected to the grid, navigation bar and update bar is this (as you
can see, I have removed the "FOR UPDATE..." statement:

SELECT CMPL.Rejected, CMPL.Rejection_Reason, CMPL.Checked ,
CMPL.COMPLAIN_DATE CMPL_DATE, COMP.Call_Sign COLL_CALL,
CMPL.Complainer_Call_Sign_In_Qso COLL_CALL_QSO,
ANAG.Call_Sign CMPL_CALL, CMPL.Call_Sign_In_Qso CMPL_CALL_QSO,
CMPL.Qso_Date, CMPL.Qso_Time, ENT.Entity_Name, CMPL.Contibution,
ANAG.Qsl_Manager STD_QMAN, CMPL.Qsl_Manager ALT_QMAN,
ANAG.Mail_Manager STD_MMAN, CMPL.Mail_Manager ALT_MMAN,
CMPL.ID_TEMP_COMPLAIN FROM TEMP_COMPLAINS CMPL
JOIN TEMP_COMPLAINERS COMP ON COMP.ID_TEMP_COMPLAINER =
CMPL.ID_COMPLAINER
JOIN TEMP_ANAGRAPHICS ANAG ON ANAG.ID_TEMP_ANAGRAPHIC =
CMPL.ID_ANAGRAPHIC
JOIN ENTITIES ENT ON ENT.ID_ENTITY = CMPL.ID_ENTITY
ORDER BY CMPL.COMPLAIN_DATE, COMP.PREFIX, COMP.GROUP_SKIP, COMP.UNIT,
ANAG.PREFIX, ANAG.UNIT

The EditSQL property of the same query is this:

EXECUTE PROCEDURE UPDATE_TEMP_COMPLAINS(
:ID_TEMP_COMPLAIN, :REJECTED, :REJECTION_REASON, :CHECKED)

The SP code is this:

CREATE PROCEDURE UPDATE_TEMP_COMPLAINS(
TEMP_ID INTEGER, IS_REJECTED INTEGER, REASON VARCHAR(50),
IS_CHECKED INTEGER)
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE TEMP_COMPLAINS
SET REJECTED = :IS_REJECTED,
REJECTION_REASON = :REASON,
CHECKED = :IS_CHECKED
WHERE ID_TEMP_COMPLAIN = :TEMP_ID;
END ^

All of this works fine and I can update the three fields, but I detect
the erratic behaviour of the UpdateBar. The Update button is always
enabled, even when it should not, that's to say when I have already
clicked it and I am already in edit mode.

I hope that now all is clear.

Regards
Salvatore
