I too am having a terrible time trying to use dbSwing components in JBuilder
2.01.

I discovered that Borland's dbTableModel.java source file was hard coded to
return
false, so dbTable cells could not be edited. Period. I copied that file into my
project
and changed it so iscellEditable returns true. Now I can edit cells, but they do
not get
placed back into the table. Why; look at setValueAt method below. Borland didn't
implement
it! It seems to me they only did a half way implementation of dbSwing. It is
read only.
Bummer! Looks like I will have to re-do my GUI and just use straight Borland
JBCL components.
It's too hard dealing with all the Swing bugs and Swing versions and Swing
mismatches
with JBCL components.

  public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
    return true;    // changed to true by cdh
  }

  public Object getValueAt(int row, int column) {
    try {
      // NOTE THESE ARE REVERSED (row and column)
      dataSet.getVariant(column, row, value);
      return value;
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
      handleException(ex);
      value.setUnassignedNull();
      return value;
    }
  }

 public void setValueAt(Object aValue, int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {
  }
