Did you try to assign a method to the right TField.OnGetText?

What you're trying to do should work with TSdfDataset, but TMemDS is somewhat more stable, I would guess. Why don't you use that one? Or, if you're using trunk, you could use TBufDataset stand-alone. This is only brand-new, so you could find some bugs on the way. Good news offcourse is, is that I;m busy with it, so there's a chance it will be fixed soon. ;) Joost _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
