How can I use the multiselect feature of a DBGrid to change field
values in the underlying table?

example:

User selects 5 records in a grid to update

I want to jump to each record and change the value in the  
the table to some value by referring to the TBookMarkList component of
the TDBGrid. I tried

for i:=0 to DBGrid1.SelectedRows.Count-1 do
    with MyTable1 do begin
        GotoBookMark(DBGrid1.SelectedRows.Items[i]);
        FieldByName('Type').Value:='FOO'
   end;

but I get an error "Incompatible Types STRING and POINTER. I know WHY
I'm getting the message but I can't find an example of using the
TBookmarkList component to get this resolved...

Anyone got any pointers :)

Hi!

Try to use the following  lines.

 for i:=0 to DBGrid1.SelectedRows.count-1 do
         begin
         DataModuleMain.Query.Bookmark := DBGrid1.SelectedRows.Items[i];
         StrPCopy(t,DataModuleMain.Query.FieldByName('PosNr').asString);
         Application.MessageBox(t, 'Meldungsfenster', mb_OKCancel +
mb_DefButton1);
         end;
     end;
