i'm implementing an OLAP application, so with a TIB_Cursor i get some
data from the DB and fill some non DBAware controls with that
information... these are just for a dashboard so can be readonly...

i just was wondering if i have the right configuration for a
TIB_Cursor with this purpose??? some advise that i'm not seeing????

Thanx Helen, as always... =:-)
