Hi!

In the OnDestroy event of a form I have the code : ClientDataset1.Close
When it is executed the OnBeforeClose event of ClientDataset1 is not fired.
Then I remove the code and put it into OnClose event of the form. Now the
OnBeforeClose event is fired.

Why this happens ?

My problem is : this code have to be in OnDestroy event and I need the
OnBeforeClose event to be fired.

What can I do to solve this ?

the destroy event is the last event of a component.
 it can not call the onclose..
  you should be calling Close which in turn should call the destroy..
etc...
 or you can instruct it to do so.
 but calling the destroy is the last door way.
P.S.
  you really should be using FREE if your handling the component from the
out side.

Jose,

ClientDataset1.Close

Because it's too late. By the time the Form's OnDestroy is called, it's
already cleaned up all of its' components. Therefore, the ClientDataSet
is already gone.

Why does it *have* to be in OnDestroy?
