Wood for the trees moment, but I need to dynamically create a dataset inside a class. Extracted code :

var
  dc : TDataColumn;
  dcList : TDataSets;
  Clients : TDataSet;

begin
  dc:=TDataColumn.Create;
  dcList := TDataSets.Create;
  Clients := TDataSet.Create;
  Clients.Name := 'dsClients';
  Clients.DataSetName := 'dsClients';

  dc.Name        := 'id';
  dc.DataType    := dtInteger;
  dc.Calculated  := False;
  dc.Length      := -1;
  dc.Scale       := -1;
  dc.ReadOnly    := False;

How do I now add "dc" (and the many others I need to create) to the data set? I just can't get my head around it.

Thanks.

Argh!
For the love of Pete ...

Ok, I forgot that the online help is more up to date than the embedded help or the PDF. I can see examples there.

I'll follow those. Sorry.

Might as well post the link for completeness in case it helps anyone else save the 4 hours I just spent trying to work it out :

That is definitely not the case, at least not for anything major.  There are some spelling corrections in there, but that's about it.
