Hello everyone. I am fairly new to Delphi, but have been coding for
many years in other languages. Anyway, I have this pesky error.
EDatabaseError message: 'Cannot perform this operation on an open
database'.

This is why its so odd. My application runs perfectly in both runtime
and development modes. I have a TDBGrid on one screen that I need to
add a field to. I open the project, open the form with the DBGrid on
it, and open my projects form where all of my datasets and querys are
located. I open the code editor for the appropriate query, and simply
add a.fieldname to the Select statement. At this point everything will
run perfectly still. I then double click my query to open the fields
list. I click Add and the new field I added to the select statement is
there. I click it to add it and save all. When I now try to run this
application it gives me the error. If I go back into the query and
remove that field and save, it still gives me the error and the only
way I can get the error to stop is to replace my project with a backup
copy.

What am I missing here? Why is adding a simple field to a query making
this error happen. Doing that is not opening the database a second
time? I'm stumped.....

Please respond in small steps as I am learning. Thanks...
