Concerning your knowledge of that part see my previous comment... Anyway, I did some scrutinizing of the pertinent code, and found that the only place where mohamed's message might probably, possibly, arise, is the "safe guarding" else clause in "msedbedit.pas" where the navigator buttons are handled. To test an additional condition for filtering, the button selection case statement was split in two, which pass through the values that are not applicable. So, the original was alright and should be kept as it is now. The case is a bit different for the other occurrences of the "guarding" exception, but due to several enumeration label redefinitions / renamings, it is very confusing what should be accepted and what might constitute an error. So I plead for keeping the "safe guard exception" for the unit "mmysqlconn.pas" FOR NOW, as long as it does no harm. Of course, should a problem arise, the case ought to be examined, even though the exception can "in principle" be caught and handled by an application program, if need be. But I agree that it is not at all elegant to have an application cater for perfectly admissible conditions. Concerning the unit "msebufdataset.pas", it should not be possible to trigger the "safe guarding" exception, although the type of the value has values capable of doing so. So, it might be advisable to also keep the exception here, as it cannot normally do any harm, but could help finding errors in unusual cases. That's for now what I could find out about the cause of the troubling message about the newly introduced error in msegui's db code. I apologize for the trouble I caused. -- (Weitergabe von Adressdaten, Telefonnummern u.ä. ohne Zustimmung nicht gestattet, ebenso Zusendung von Werbung oder ähnlichem) ----------------------------------------------------------- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, S.
