Query TTable Object For Active Field

I need to know how to query a TTable object or Datasource at runtime to
which field in the underlying data structure currently has the focus. Any
ideas?

Gordon,

There's no such thing as field focus on the database level.
All the database knows is the current record.
If you're using data-bound controls, you can examine the
TForm.ActiveControl - that should tell you which field has
the focus.

Huh? Do you want to see which data-aware control has focus?

I would iterate through the Form's Controls list and see who had a
DataSource.DataSet that matched.

Cheers
