Hi Happy to see that there is a Delphi oriented DB list : I meet some problem with TClientdataset and Calcfields.
My CDS contains 8 real fields and 4 calc fields all created with the field editor in conception (i suppose it's not the best way to create fields but i took the application like this). When i do that all works fine : ---------------- if cdsCategories.Active then cdsCategories.Close; cdsCategories.CreateDataSet; ---------------- but when my CDS has to be reopen another time (I voluntarily execute the instructions 2 times) : ---------------- if cdsCategories.Active then cdsCategories.Close; cdsCategories.CreateDataSet; if cdsCategories.Active then cdsCategories.Close; cdsCategories.CreateDataSet; ---------------- The second CreateDataset instruction raise an exception error (duplicate field). Can you tell me why ? The only way i've found to avoid this exception is to do this : ---------------- if cdsCategories.Active then begin cdsCategories.Close; cdsCategories.FieldDefs.Update;; while cdsCategories.FieldCount > 0 do begin cdsCategories.Fields[cdsCategories.FieldCount-1].Free; end; end; cdsCategories.CreateDataSet; ---------------- What is the best way to deal with that please ?
