What is the best way to deal with required fields

[smitty654]

I have alot of required fields in my tables. How does one make field required in Delphi. Is it my understanding that you can do this both on the database end(MySQL) and on the client(Delphi 2007)? Thanks for any suggestions.

In the DataSet enter the field editor with the object inspector in view. There should be a property titeld required. (I am working within Client Datasets and the property is ther, so I assume it is tables etc);

How does this required field property work? Are there tutorials or code snippets on it? Thanks.

dont know about mysql but with a ttable component you double click it to bring up the fields editor.

when you select a field in the editor its properties are shown.

there you change required t/f.

then if you try and post data without filling these fields you get a message and focus returns to the required field.
