Hi Susan,

There's no such thing really as "Delphi Data". Delphi is the programming language. What you need to find out is how the data is being stored.

What? What database is is use? This will determine the ODBC driver that you need.
Where? Where is the data stored? This will determine how you configure the ODBC driver.
How? How are the tables laid out? This will determine how you write up your SQL statements.

If you know the above info then you can connect to the database using SQLConnect() and issue SQL Statments using SQLExec().

Regards,

Liam




>I am writing an application that has to access a third party package written in Delphi. They have provided calls that enable the data to be accessed for reading and updating purposes which is fine when I'm dealing with single items. The problem comes when I'm wanting to create a grid, say of all their stock items, for them to choose from. To do that, I need to use their calls to read round whole file, one record at a time, and store each record in a temporary cursor that I can then use to populate the grid.
