Good work! Sure, take it out. It is calling OpenDataset and that causes the
query to be set to Active = True, which you definitely do not want happening

Yes, this is possible (I just created a demo that does it). It involves
creating a custom dataview descendent. This is not a template, but rather a
replacement of the TdaBDEQueryDataview class. You can unregister the

Sorry, I didn't see that you are now using IBObjects instead of the BDE. The
