> First problem: "Getting Started" Project -- Global Dive Supply

> The program detailed in the Getting Started manual is not working for me.
> To be specific, the problem is with the Data Module. When I add the
> display grid, as on pp.42-42 of the manual, the grid does _not_ appear to
> be live. That is, when placed on the form, the grid shows only one row and
> one column, and not the customer data as shown in the illustrations on p.
> 43. When I right-click on the DBGrid and select the columns editor, the
> fields are there, and they then appear on the DBGrid, but still no data.

> I repeated the project twice to make sure I followed the instructions
> properly, but the same thing happens. The project runs, of course, but
> still the data doesn't appear.

> Is there a problem with the Data Module CustomerData supplied with Delphi
> 2.0 Developer? Is there something else I need to do to make the link
> "live"?
