Hi, I know someone could think this a little offtopic, but as I conceive it as another valuable way to developing database related appications, I proceed. All questions are related to the Delphi 5 Interbase native compenents. 1) I would like to show the result set of my stored procedures in a dbgrid. How should I do? How to deal with Transaction? 2) I would like not to use queries, only stored procedures. Is it possible? I think the performance of my application will improve, when multiuser. 3) Some days ago some people advised not to use dbgrids at all. I would like to follow such instructions since as I could see, the points where very logical and very well conceived. But what is the best way to do such task? 4) I have developed many applications but henceforward I would like to use more the database resource and less code in program. I mean more stored procedures.Am I right in the sence it would be better? Is it better to use Interbase components, or there is no difference regarding performance? Has someone already made some test? 5) How should I do with interbase for storing characters like ç, á, ó, í, ú, é, of the portuguese language and è,à or the Italian language? I think there must be some setting I need to change, maybe the languagedrive? How should I do that? 6) Another thing that is happening and I dont know why is the fact that when I move the scrollbar of the dbgrid (which is related with an IBQuery) to visualize other records, what is viewed is only the last two records for all the table. Let's suppose the contents of the dbgrid where Brazil, Italia,New Zealand, Us,Uk. After Imove the scrollbar it is shown only Us,Uk,Us,Uk,Us,Uk. Why is it so? Is it something related to IBTransaction? Please any help would be appreciated because I am in a hurry and there is nobody to go for help here. I thank you very very much for all the concern and hope you are all well. a hug from a Italian friend in Brazil, Marcello Miorelli --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz
