Kept getting an "Invalid value for field MsgID" for following line:

tbM.SetRange([m.ID],[m,ID]);

Took me quite some time to discover the "," in "[m,ID]", instead of the
dot.

And, of course, on top of it all, the ID variable existed, so any
sensible error was out of the question.

Thank you for sharing that its brightened my morning.

Now for my story:

I'm in the process of swapping TAdvStringGrids for a combination of TnlhSGTable, TDatasource and TnlhDBGrid. The very first one I went for was the task list complete with flashing alarms. I "knew" how to do the flashing alarms because I was doing the same on a different form with a proper table. Four hours later I still wasn't able to get the bloody grid to show a single glyph let alone a flashing one. THEN it dawned on me - set the imagelist on the grid. Result alarms flashing on and off like mad.

LOL

The only advantage of a mad episode like this, is the utter feeling of
elation at the end, which actually beats the feeling if everything just
went as planned.
