What kind of database? Most SQL db's have a table that defines table
structures. Paradox does not.
You could always open up the table using a TTable and examine the Field
property. Look up TTable and TField for more info.

Do you know SQL? Once you have the field names you can do anything you want.

Sure, why not, but do you know how to create a label at runtime?
