T,
Yes I was surprised by the vitriole in the replies too..
My original question was it would be 'nice' if.....
Yea, and I do agree with you it would be nice...
However this degraded into a debate about the state of datasets and the
IDE's role
in their state mainteneance - what I would really like is to be able to
return the IDE
to that state I left it..re closing all Datasets i'm in the habit of leaving
the TDatabase inactive
anyway (this closes all DataSets)
Though it would be nice to have some sort of macro feature that I could run
before preparing
a distribution version...
You can do this for D4 and earlier versions by Spawning Convert to convert
the DFM's to text, then examining them all for a dataset left open, and of
course with D5 its easier because the forms are stored as text anyway.
Its the sort of simple tool that should really be included on the delphi CD
though.
Tony
Regards
Neven
