Hope in the right Group,
Hello to the Group,
I am new to this problem:
I need to save a stringgrid on a Paradox record (and reload).
What kind of field should I define, and how to save (and reload)
the grid ? any example ?
Thank you all for any HELP.
Giovanni.

All of the data in a StringGrid is strings so you need a table with
one column for each column in the StringGrid. To save the data you
will insert one row into the table for each row in the StringGrid.

Thanks for your reply, Bill,
My problem is : I do not know how many rows I will nedd for
the stringGrid, also I could have many records needing a
stringgrid embedded; I wonder if I can save/load in BLOB format.
In such matter I am beginner.
Regards, Giovanni.

If there is a way to do that I do not know what it is. You might try
the vcl.components.writing group if you do not get an answer here.

To save your StringGrid in a table all you need is a detail table for
the StringGrid data. That way you can loop through the StringGrid rows
and add as many rows as necessary to the detail table.

Bill,
you are right ( as always ),
tables filtered and linked as detail
to the MasterTable is the best solution.
Thanks & regards,
Giovanni.
