Hi Bob You can (re)activate a DAC table using ... PSQLTable.Active := True
You cannot do PSQLTable*.Active := True to do all tables in one line. They all need to addressed individually. I usually activate all tables in the OnCreate event for the form to be sure they are all active. If you rely on them being active from the design-time view you can have problems if the design-time loses connection with the server. Happy to advise further as I have used the DAC tool set for a while now.
