Is the column position critical?
If the column you want to change is column 7 (char
4), would it be OK if it became the last column (char 5)?
If so, then SQL is possible - else others who know
how to talk to the BDE or who can do clever things with FieldDefs will need to
advise.

I had a crack at this one a couple of weeks ago without much success. The
ones that come with Delphi are mostly appalling and not been upgraded since
Delphi 1 - how about Corel/Borland supplying the ones it uses in the IDE for
Delphi 6 (??). Perhaps this is what Corel can bring to the table.
Use the Fields Editor and then pick up the OnGetText event for the
explicitly defined date field. Then format the input as you please and put
into Text.
So, it's not the Grid you are adding properties to but to the DB field. You
can also modify the column header for the date field.

Sorry about the bum Format advice - hope it didn't cost too much time.

another matter.

Define the Short Date Format without a separator.
ShortDateFormat := 'ddmmyy';
then proceed with StrtoDate() for your dates into database
then back to usual
ShortDateFormat := 'dd/mm/yy';
or, if you want to be Y2K compliant
ShortDateFormat := 'dd/mm/';

Given you're in D1, sometimes the less elegant but brutally effective is the
way to go.
Broadly, how I would do it this is.
Query1
SELECT Teacher, Count(Students) As NoGirls, 0 As NoBoys
FROM MySchoolTable
WHERE MaleFemale = "Girl"
GROUP BY Teacher
Then Use BatchMove 'Copy' to a Destination Tab

'29/02/00'
From the Delphi Year 2000 page (http://www.inprise.com/devsupport/y2000/delphi.html#notes3
) :

More paradox date stuff:
Regardless of Windows Short Date setting year as yy or if you enter the
date '1/1/45' into a grid you get
1/1/1945 but if you use an SQL INSERT of '1/1/45' you get 1/1/2045.
Similarly, a SELECT on '1/1/45' gets 1/1/2045.
FindKey([strtodate('1/1/45')]) will find 1/1/
The key driver seems to be the Windows setting for Short Date Format. Ensure
that is set to four-digit year.
That should resolve your issues - regardless of current date.

reverts to yy - time to download the 95 patch and insta
