Sorry, don't know anything of Empress... You do use Edit/post, don't you? But since you don't have problems with Access, I guess you do.<br />

Thanks chaps that sorted the problem, but I still have never had to do this with Access. Empress is a Canadian RDBMS for UNIX, very powerful, checkout <a href="http://www.empress.com" rel="ugc">www.empress.com</a><br />

Why can I modify data in an Empress database table with data aware controls i.e. DBEdit, DBMemo, but I cannot do it with code i.e. Table1.FieldByName('descri<wbr />ption').As<wbr />String := Edit1.Text;<br />
The table is open with ReadOnly set to false.<br />
the same thing happens with queries even when RequestLive is set to true.<br />
I do not have this problem with Access tables.<br />
Is there anyone else out there using Delphi 3.0 and Empress ?<br />

Whats the difference?

Delphi is the most powerful Object Pascal IDE and component library for cross-platform Native App Development with flexible Cloud services and broad IoT connectivity. It provides powerful VCL controls for Windows 10 and enables FMX development for Windows, Mac and Mobile. Delphi is your choice for ultrafast Enterprise Strong Development™. Look for increased memory for large projects, extended multi-monitor support, improved Object Inspector and much more. Delphi is 5x faster for development and deployment across multiple desktop, mobile, cloud and database platforms including 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10.
