Is there an equivalent to TDBGrid that displays one data record at a
time in form format?

That's what DBEdit fields are for, you create a new form and place
some DBEdits on it to show/change the data of the record.

That will work fine if you know how many columns you are dealing with
in your table and what the names are.  I am hoping for something more
like the way TDBGrid works but only display one record in a form
format.

I think TRNelson need something like TDBVertGridEh from EhLib, but
free.

You can use StringGrid for that, with some coding.

I'm looking for such component too...it is what in other environments
would be called "Form View" or "Card View" or "Card".

Here is simple example using StringGrid (I used Firebird connection
and employee database).

Yes, that describes it.  I have seen it often.

This is a very good example.  I had not thought of that.  I can build
upon this.  Thank you very much.

I am very new to this 'new' approach to programming.  I still live and
work in the old mainframe world.  I may (WILL) have more questions and
hope they aren't trivial.
