I'm wading through the chapter on client data sets, and
so far the author hasn't explained why you would ever
want to use one.
Worst of all, he hasn't explained what OTHER components
have to be in place and active BEFORE you can set up a
ClientDataSet.
My guess is you need:
A Connection component (I'm using TSQLConnection)
a normal dataset component (TSQLDataSet);
I can get these two to go "active", but when I drop
the ClientDataSet component on, it won't connect to
anything....
To summarrize: two questions:
1) Why would you use a ClientDataSet instead of a DataSet?
2) What components have to be on the form and active
before you can put a ClientDataSet on the same form?

Thank you for referring me to your paper on ClientDataSets.
I confess I could make almost no sense out of it, and I am wondering
if there are other articles of yours (or anyone) aimed at
us beginners.
