I realize that this has been covered several times in the past, but I  
have managed to loose the hardcopy printouts that I made of the previous
responses.

I have a project using Delphi 1 which displays the records in a database
(dBase) in a TBDgrid.  I wish to be able to select a record on the grid
and have another form displayed with the fields layed out in "form"
manner populated with the data for the selected record.  I know that this
will require using the same TTable for both forms so that they can both
have visibility to the same record pointer/number.  

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.   Thank you!!

1.
Insert the name of the form with the grid in the "uses"-part of the
form with the DBEdits.
If this is recursive, insert a "uses" behind the "implemantation" of
the form.

2.
Connect every DataSource-Property of the DBEdits with the DataSource
on the form with the grid. You must do that during runtime for example
in the "FormCreate"-Event.

...probally more confusing then helpful!?!?!?

In Form1, drop a TTable, a TDataSource and a TDBGrid, and wire them
accordingly.  In Form2, where you have your _data_entry_form_, drop a
TDataSource component (Do not drop a TTable).  Then add thisline in the
OnCreate event handler:

  DataSource1.DataSet := Form1.Table1;

Make sure that Unit2 is referenced in the Uses clause of Unit1, and Unit1 is
referenced in the Uses clause of Unit2.  Both Uses clauses _MUST_ be in the
Implementation (not Interface) section.
