AFAIK, it should use the CDS's persistent fields, correct.
A few more general comments:
1. Add new field def's before opening the CDS.
2. Do not call CreateDataSet if you are linked to a query, even for
inserting records
3. To add a new record just call CDS.Insert and CDS.Post, you can do
this in a loop if required.
4. Once you are finished with inserting (or editing) call
CDS.ApplyUpdates
Cheers
Martin

The call to CreateDatSet is in the "new record" bit of the
code, to create a
blank/empty dataset. seeing as the CDS already has
persistent fields, won't
it use them instead of the tqueries?
