[QUOTE="PeterDonis, post: 348034, member: 6906"] Delphi 5 doesn't have TClientDataSet in the VCL, and I haven't quite persuaded myself to shell out the $$ for a version upgrade at this point (it will happen eventually if past experience is any guide :)). However, so far I'm finding that I don't need an in-memory dataset type object to do what I need to do--I can get it done with a leaner set of objects if their relationships are carefully defined. I have C++ Builder but I just don't like working with the C++ language as much (in terms of functionality there's basically no difference between C++B and Delphi except for multiple inheritance, and I can live without that). I'm using Access 97 for the database, mainly because I find it a lot easier to generate a database structure in Access than in Paradox (I don't have the full Paradox package so I have to use the Database Desktop that comes with Delphi, which is pretty clunky). I wouldn't mind comparing notes either, but if we're going to do that in more detail we should probably do it offline (my e-mail address is in my profile on this board). Peter Donis [/QUOTE]
