<DIV><FONT size=2>I'm using Absolute database for my Delphi database
applications. For what I see, it works much like MS access.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I randomly get file locked when editing data . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>To be honest I have not really got my head around editing and
posting.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have several DBGrids showing the same table in several
forms, Jobs by account, Jobs by date etc. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>From a previous reply from this group, I have added a unique
number to the Job table. That way I can use the same editing Form for the
data independent from which grid it came from. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>How can I ensure that whenever I'm in the editing routine, the
record I'm working on, is in edit mode. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Do I put the table in edit mode when I leave the main form and
go into the editing form,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Do I put it in the editing form with
OnShow</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Which record in which table do I put into edit mode,
the one pointing from the DBgrid (Eg Jobs by Account) or the one I
found in the source Jobs table from the unique reference?</FONT></DIV>
