[SOLVED] TDB Controls Help

[vdubeau]

I'm trying to put a TDBEdit control on a form. When I click in the field box in the inspctor Lazarus tells me that it can't create a lit of fields,
i have a DBConnection, Datasoure and SQL controls on the form and set up. Obviously there is something that I am missing.

Help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Sounds like the database conmnection or the datset is not active. You can't get the field list for a closed dataset.

I finally figured out that you need an actual quewry in your SQLQuery. Then the field list shows up.
