Hello All,

My previous message didn't have line breaks. Sorry.

I am new to Borland�s C++ Builder. I am having a devil 
of a time trying to write a "hello world" type database 
program. I have successfully created a BDE alias to my 
database server. I have confirmed the connection to the 
database (Informix). My problems seem to arise in the 
actual programming. All I want to do is to write a 
program to connect to the database, pass in two dynamically 
generated SQL statements, and print the results to the screen.

I have been muddling around with placing tDataSource and TTable 
objects onto the screen, but that�s as far as I get before 
getting all kinds of errors. I think I�m missing some important 
steps. Anyone know what I�m doing wrong?

Thanks For Your Time,
Don Graves
