<div>Dear John,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have seen code where someone forgot to put the unit in their second form's uses clause, and then put DB instead of <span class="link">DBClient. They went around in circles.</span><br><br> </div>

<br>general<br>printing routine gets passed a TClientDataSet object which it uses,<br>rather<br>than ferreting about in a form's innards.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Delphi mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Delphi@ns3.123.co.nz">
