Good luck trying to convince Borland of a problem there. I also tried
to report that bug and got no where fast. I also found a bug in the
dbTableModel with showing a different type of data in the pickListbox
and got equally as far. This company has the most useless support I
have seen. I attempted to claim that the dbSwing pacakge has this
defect but in order to do that you have to pay for support. HELLO is
this a little bit WRONG. When you purchase a product from a store and
find a defect in it do you normally A) Take it back for a replacement.
B) Buy $$$ support package so that someone else can confirm it is
defective and provide a suitable replacement.

ALTHOUGH ID REALLY LIKE TO SEE BORLAND TAKE CARE OF THIS AND FOR
SOMEONE TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM !!! (HINT HINT !!!!)

There is some good news. A company called Genimen has had somewhat
better luck getting responses and have fixxed a couple of bugs with
the jdbTable. Thay also have extended the jdbTable and added three new
controls, A checkbox (Which operates on a single click as you think it
should) and an editable and non-editable pickList (Which actually work
!!) the software package can be retrieved free of cost from
www.Genimen.com 

 I won't even get into how ironic it is that I am helping there flaky
swwing product by posting here.  Im doing so not in Borlands honor but
to in some way assist the people like myself who also find the lack of
support frustrating.  
Anyways sorry for venting it is 4am where I am working....
