Maybe you have a point there Neven, but really I am at surprised at the
condemnation this simple feature? has incurred. For me, it is a damned good
reminder that I haven't inadvertently left a dataset open - and it is a
small inconvenience to just open the data module with my connection device
on it. I would hardly rate it as shonky design on Borlands part. As Willie
said, I also would rate the risk of inadvertantly leaving my connection
device open in a build, or even leaving a dataset open as of far greater
importance.
Cheers...

Hey Guys
I'm talking about leaving queries open at DESIGN TIME
The distribution of an app is a different matter entirely
The reason I use Live at design time queries is the I don't use persistent
TFields
as they are a minefield of runtime errors (field is not of expected length
etc)
The question was a general one - it would be nice if at design time you
could
get your Datamodule created (and activated) before the forms
