Get rid of DBNavigator ...

[1HuntnMan]

I have a previous post with a conflict between DBNav and a JvDBLookUpCombo.
Anyway, thought I'd try another strategy and found this in the Lazarus Tdbf Tutorial.  See code below.  This doesn't work if I attempt to enter and place a SpeedBtn on the panel and onclick event Dbf Proposals.DataSet.First(); . Laz won't even recognize this??? Just testing to cure the other post I made about the JvDBLookUpCombo disappearing value by creating a Nav without using the DBNavigator.

1. Moving Thru Table Records
2. (Jumping to Beginning of File, End of File, Next Record, Prior Record, etc.)
3. DbfContacts.FilePathFull := '/home/somelocation/database_location/';   // Path to
4.         the database directory
5. DbfContacts.TableName := 'Contacts.dbf;    // database file (including extension)
6. DbFContacts.Open;
7. DbfContacts.DataSet.First();   // -> Go to the first record
8. DbfContacts.DataSet.Prior();  // -> Go to the previous record
9. DbfContacts.DataSet.Next();  //->  Go to the next record
10. DbfContacts.DataSet.Last();  //->  Go to the last record
11. DbfContacts.DataSet.BOF;  { Is the cursor at the beginning of the data
12.                                     (on the first record) , returns boolean }
13. DbfContacts.DataSet.EOF;  //->  Is the cursor at the end of the data
14.                                     (on the last record)

Hi
Skip the '.DataSet' in 'DbfContacts.DataSet.First();'. "DbfContacts" *is* the /dataset/

I agree. Your codes should work.

Yup, leave out the DataSet, just DbfContacts.First(), DbfContacts.Prior(), DbfContacts.Last(), etc.

Thanks, the Lazarus TDbf Tutorial is wrong in their examples, see below:
