Hi !

I am looking for a way to do data entry in the manner of Access
continuous forms.
Now TDBGrid certainly has a function of reading and writing data and
presenting it in a table row.
Would it be possible to change/extend this function by displaying the
data in a (somehow special) TFrame with database sensitive controls?

Is there a tip where to intervene? Or does a similar component exist
somewhere?
Thanks

I believe what you're looking for is a DB Control Grid like:
https://github.com/ZGabrovski/DBTreeViewAndDBCntrlGrid. It's an
installable component and listed in the Online Package Manager.

You can also try IBX control TDBControlGrid. I think it is standard DB
control and can work with any TDataSet not only IBX Firebird controls.
