[DUG] Component names

[Stacey Verner]

I am confused.

Is the TDataset parameter actually the TTable or a different object that
just happens to have the same name?
By ??.Name do you mean the component Name or the actual table name in
the database.?

If the TTable and the TDataset are actually the same object then just go
"if MyTable = MyDataset then begin"
