No field data being displayed from custom tdataset

edited October 2002 in Datapipelines
I'm working with a custom tdataset, published for Prophet Accounting Software. My licence doesn't give me the (vast) source for it.

Works well, but in RB I'm getting no field data displayed.

Datasource (and grids for example) get field data

RB is traversing the right number of records, and showing the bands.

If I drop in a calc with oncalc returning the fieldbyname data manually, it works.

Something that says
RB.DBText.GoAndGetFieldDatafromField is getting nothing.

My question to the group is how should I test or narrow down the problem to just which piece is not talking to which other piece.

    Does the TDataset support the TDataset interface completely, including
    bookmarks? Do the field names in the datapipeline match the field names in
    the dataset? Try deleting the datapipeline and recreate it so that it
    creates its TppField objects with the latest field names from the dataset
    correctly. Make sure that the dbText is connected through its datapipeline
    and datafield properties and it should work.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Checked all the basics. No obvious errors.

    I can't see 'inside' the TDataset or RB to see what the problem is.

    I'm converting the fields to Variables to solve my immediate problem.

    I'll work on it further with custom dataset people.
