Hello,

I am attempting to Delete records from a table that is part of an
interbase database.  I have tried using the standard DELETE method on
the table which returns a Function not supported error, and a DELETE
query which gives me the error that the table is Read Only.  I have
checked the property for this table and it is not set to be Read
Only.  

Has anyone else had this problem?  Does anyone have any suggestions
as how I can remedy this problem, I am new to Interbase and any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Lan Norwood

In addition to checking the RequestLive property of the TQuery component,
also check the CanModify property. Even though you may set the RequestLive
property to True, a result set may still not be read-write (see the
Database Application Developer's Guide, page 120, in the section entitled
"Getting a live result set," for more details on relationships between the
RequestLive and CanModify properties and live result sets).

The TTable component, too, has a CanModify property. If, for whatever
reason, the table cannot be opened in a modifiable mode, the CanModify
property will be False -- regardless of how you set the ReadOnly property.
