I've got a question that's simple to answer--but difficult for me to explain :)
I've got nested ClientDataSets. Let's call the main one CDS1. CDS2 is one of CDS1's fields. Although CDS1 is connected to a variety of DBAware controls, CDS2 is displayed & edited only via a DataGrid. So here's what I'm trying to do ... When an item is added to CDS1, CDS2's grid should display a template--selected grid fields will be pre-filled, some will have a pickList, and others will be blank. In every other CDS1 state or condition, however, I want CDS2 to display the way it "normally" would when you've got nested datasets--CDS2 will display for the (CDS1) selected record whatever was saved the last time CDS1.Post was called. I hope this is clear, 'cause I'm not sure it's clear even to me! Basically, though, instead of having CDS2 display a blank grid when a new record is created in CDS1, I want a file to be loaded that will enter info into some of CDS2's displays. I'm sort of assuming I'll write code along the lines of "if CDS1.State in [dsInsert] then CDS2.FileName:=aTemplate.xml else DoWhatYouNormallyDo" Does this sound like I'm on the right track?
