i have a db form with a TDBMemo control e.g. edt_authors
the control is bound to a db text field and want to keep small in size so i designed it like the other TDBEdit fields in my form, to occupy a single line.
Now in case the user want to put there a large amount of authors, i have a seperate form for editing text fields, lets say dlgTextFieldEditor which holds a big TDBMemo, lets say edt_big_memo.
When user calls this form, i set
edt_big_memo.Datasource:=edt_authors.Datasource
edt_big_memo.DataField:=edt_authors.DataField
and show form as modal.
When user is finished with editing and closes the form with the edt_big_memo
the edt_authors is not updated, but the underlying field it is.
This is my problem, how to update the edt_authors to reflect the changes, without posting the record ?
