Read my previous post (Answer to Marcel) how I connect to my AccessTable...
Just by "hooking" up some components together - simple and quite
easy, but not really satisfying... However, I have everything working for my
small application so far, here is a picture of it:

http://homepage.hispeed.ch/alien/snapshot.jpg

Assume I have an Access table called "SOFTWARE" and it
holds a few columns:

Name (String)
CDID  (Number)
CategoryID (Number)
TypeID (String)
Keywords (String)
Description (Memo)
Path (String)

Since I connected the DBGrid with the Access table, I can edit the columns
Name, CDID, CategoryID, TypeID and Keywords directly in the table,
works fine... To the column Description I connected with a DBMemo,
so I can edit that one directly too...

Now about the column Path: Here I want to store the path to a picture.
Means I select a picture with "OpenPictureDialog" and want to save the
selected Path to the column, so each row has a Path to a picture if
necessary...

I tryed it with a DBEdit - I connected that one with the DataField "Path".
If I write directly by Hand into that DBEdit and then press the tab-key,
the value I entered is directly stored into the mdb-File in the column Path
for the appropriate row...

First thought was - great, that's it... So I just added this simple code:

OpenPictureDialog1->Execute();
DBEdit1->Text = OpenPictureDialog1->FileName;

But this doesn't STORE the value (Path) into the mdb-File :-/

(as soon as I click with the mouse into that DBEdit1, the path is gone
again...)


So if anybody has a minute left to explain how to write a value (in my case
the path)
directly into the column "Path" of my mdb-File?

...then I could finally finnish my Application to V1.0

The current V0.99 doesn't have support for description and picture yet, and
therefore looks simple like this:

I added now the description
(as shown in the snapshot http://homepage.hispeed.ch/alien/snapshot.jpg)
and now would just like to finnish that thingy with the path so I can add a
picture too...


Cheers
