As some function syntax has changed between versions (most notably DataSet.Find), if would be VERY helpful to have support for compiler directives:

{$DEFINE EWB3}

{$IFDEF EWB3}
.
.
.
{$ELSE}
.
.
.
{$ENDIF}

Doug,

You can use this to do what you want:

{$IFDEF CLIENT}
{$DEFINE EWB3}
{$ENDIF}

The CLIENT symbol, along with the SERVER and BROWSER symbols, are specific to EWB 3 and always defined globally by the compiler, depending upon the application type, etc.
