If your database is uniquely indexed, then you can do<br />
<br />
if newdatakey=dbkey then<br />
&nbsp; update the database <br />
else<br />
&nbsp; insert into database<br />
<br />
If you're using a Database which has stored procedures, you can do this in one line of code in Delphi :)<br />
<br />
Hope this helps,<br />
