I had problems with the source data being changed when I used a lookup. I 
created a manual lookup table and found the same problem. Looks like the record 
pointers got mixed up when using 2 tables. I fixed the source file over 20 
times but I could not duplicate the key strokes that created the problem. 
(Delphi 4) 

I posted a problem with creating dBase3 files a few days ago and the end result 
is that field names are not created correctly. (I used Dbase as I had 15 year 
of programming experience with them and Excel can read them directly) 

Delphi appears to create and integer type field instead of real numbers when 
using the following:

          if dm.tblOper.Fields[i].Datatype=ftFloat then
             Add(trim(copy(dm.tblOper.Fields[i].Name,8,10)), ftFloat, 0, False);
or 
         FieldDefs.Assign(dm.tblOper.FieldDefs);


I have just downloaded Absolute database and so far things have worked 
correctly.
