I can get the resultSet by code as follows: oADODataSet.RecordSet := oAdoConnection.Execute( sSQL, cmdUnknown ,[eoAsyncExecute]) ; This is fine however how do I attach that RecordSet to the imported activeX property? The next line in code gives a compiler error ;- Incompatible Types _RecordSet and DataSource. oResultGrid.DataSource := oADODataSet.RecordSet ; I am assuming I need to get the Recordset to an OLeVariant or something similar but I have now hit a brick wall. Hope the above makes sense. Any clues? Thanks Chris Back to top Chris Spencer Guest Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2003 8:26 am    Post subject: Re: New To Delphi Question Further info. The help for the Active X control states: DataSource is an OLEDB data source such as an ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) recordset. That is enough to convince me that it should work but being a beginner???

Does this mean that the activex is unable to be used in Delphi? procedure TitGrid._Set_DataSource(const Param1: DataSource); { Warning: The property DataSource has a setter and a getter whose types do not match. Delphi was unable to generate a property of this sort and so is using a Variant as a passthrough. } var InterfaceVariant: OleVariant; begin InterfaceVariant := DefaultInterface; InterfaceVariant.DataSource := Param1; end; Chris "Chris Spencer" <chris (AT) tufware (DOT) com.au> wrote Quote: I have an imported Active X control that has a property dataSource which is expecting an ADO resultSet.

Quote: That's because I don't know the answer to that. :( What is the DataSource type? The compiler evidently knows what it is, and it isn't a variant. If you want to try passing it the recordset as a variant, you could just assign the recordset to a variant-type variable and pass that. -- Deborah Pate (TeamB) http://delphi-jedi.org TeamB don't see posts sent via Google or ISPs Use the real Borland server: newsgroups.borland.com http://www.borland.com/newsgroups/genl_faqs.html Back to top Chris Spencer Guest Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2003 7:15 am    Post subject: Re: New To Delphi Question I modified a few methods to expect an OLEVariant and all is ok now.
