Well it may not have been such a dumb question... no takers. A last gasp help on this one.. any ideas ??, I still haven't sussed it. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Masters [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 09, 1999 3:40 PM To: 'Delphi Users Group List' Subject: Record/Key Deleted Hi All, Despite my gut feeling that this is a dumb Friday question...... I've got a simple dialog with 3 bound controls (DBLookup, DBMemo, DBCheckBox) using a query with a live dataset. I simply do a query.post to save it. For some reason when I do a post I get a "Record/Key deleted" error, but only when I'm inserting a new record, not when editing. But the insert still works ?? I've got loads of these types of dialogs and have never seen this error before. Anyone know what it means ? The ONLY different thing going on here is the DBLookup is populated from the same table I'm inserting/Editing with a SELECT DISTINCT(FIELD1) FROM TABLE (ie. User can enter anything into FIELD1 but can select from a list of unique values previously entered). FYI, using D3, IB4.
