Hmmm... looks like TDBF doesn't have any way to load my tables without writing yet another program. And dBase tables? I think I will check out SQLite first. I picked on MySQL by recommendation from some folks telling me how it was a mature db with all of the features I was used to from working with Oracle. It was certainly easier to set up than FireBird -- and better documented.<br>
<br>I suppose also that I could write all of the insert/delete/edit code, but I didn't have to do that in Delphi 10 years ago. The DbNavigator just worked with no additional code at all.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Well .... so I think that you made a bad choice starting with a more<br>
complex dataset (MySQL) with a known problem. I had supposed that you<br>
needed to use MySQL.<br>
<br>
I would recommend that you start with TDBF instead. I'm 100% sure this<br>
one works.<br>
