Thanks for the suggestion but the issue has been fixed for me. I reported it to the vendor that created the Delphi component-set to use MySQL and they supplied me with a fix. Apparently, "something" has changed between 5.0.45 and 5.0.51 that made their code fail, but it's all good now. Martijn Tonies Database Workbench - development tool for MySQL, and more!
