Hi,
is it somehow possible to clone a "cursor" to one TMSQuery? Just to have one data storage and 2 independent pointers to its records.

Example: to have all prices listed in a tdbgrid and the lowest price in a tdbedit, both editable.

I need similar functionality to TClientDataset.CloneCursor, but really don't want to use TClientdataset - I don't want to lose the advanced tmsquery functionality like fetchall = false etc.
Thanks, Ludek.

SDAC has no functionality similar to TClientDataset.CloneCursor.

Probably this problem can be solved with using TEdit instead of TDBEdit, or with copying record(s) to TVirtualTable, or in any other way.

Sure, I have solved this problem this way already a few years ago, but i wanted to optimize it, it is a very ugly code full of detecting, who changes the data, whether the user or the sync algorithm.
Is there any chance, you will implement such method in the (near?) future?

It is unlikely as this is not an asked-for feature and it requires significant changes in code.
