Tipps are welcome: This code snippet doesn't work: > var val : Variant; > begin > val := Editinput.Text; > val := SdfDataSetNew1.Lookup('Spalte1',VarArrayOf([val]),'Spalte3'); > > if not VarIsNull(val) then > Editoutput.Text:=val[0] > else > Editoutput.Text:= 'VarIsNull'; perhaps i ask here and go then to the source?
