problems with dataset.enablecontrols

[garwain]

I have a program that uses a dbgrid to display a list of records, and the doubleclick event opens another form to edit the data. If certain conditions exists I call the line

dsItem.DataSet.DisableControls;

to prevent editing the record. Then in the formclose event I call;
if dsItem.DataSet.ControlsDisabled then
dsItem.DataSet.EnableControls;
if dsItem.DataSet.ControlsDisabled then
dsItem.DataSet.EnableControls;

when I trace through the execution the second enableControls is called. Any idea where the problem is?

never mind. I just realized the disablecontrols was in the dataset's onchange event, so when I tried to enable the controls it would just disable them again...
