*****************************************

This is the latest sample written. 

The purpose of this sample is simply to demonstrate the global focusing
system built into IB Objects and just how easy it is to code.

Please make sure that InterBase Objects has been properly installed.

Load this project up and open up the forms and browse through them some.
Not much to it huh? I think there are about 4 lines of database code.
This is for the entire application!

You will probably need to locate the IB_Connection component and
check its Database property to make sure that it points to your
MASTSQL.GDB file.

After you select one child form click on the button for Searching
( the one with blue question mark and the book ). Then notice how the
color of the POST and CANCEL buttons change to a blue color as well as
the fields of the child form. This color changing stuff is to help the
users to know the context of each form.

Then, click from that form to another child form. Note how the toolbars
at the top of the mainform change to the new context of the new child.

Take it from here and try all kinds of stuff.
Try performing diffenent searches and do record counts as well as
hit the Last button and go to the the Browse tab to see the records.
Be sure to have the Customer form as the active child form to do this.

Enjoy and look for more information and enhancements to this sample.

Be sure to look at the DFM as text to see what properties have been used.
Or, select each individual component one at a time and press CTRL+C.
Then, got to the bottom of the code editor below the "end." syntax.
Then, press CTRL+V and the DFM text for just that component is visible!
This is two-way tooling!
