: Can someone teach me how to transfer a table contenct into DBGrid. I only have a field in a table.
---------------------

1. Put a Delphi dataset-component on the form. The easiest one is a TTable, so use this for now. (also a TQuery can be used, but that's more complicated)

2. In Delphi's Object Inspector, set up the TTable component for the table that you are using.

3. Add a Delphi TDataSource to the form, and set its property DataSet to the TTable component; for example, Table1 if that's the name of your TTable.

4. Set the property DataSource of the DBGrid to the TDataSource, for example: DataSource1.

5. Set the property Active of the TTable to TRUE, either in the Object Inspector or in your code.
