hi

Could you elaborate a bit more on what you are currently doing and what you want to achieve, for example, are you using a dbgrid or stringgrid etc...

For a DBGrid, create the calculated fields in the DataSet (e.g. TTable) and you can use them like data fields, expcept that they will be ReadOnly.

If you cannot do that, you can paint the cell contents yourself using the TDBGrid.DrawColumnCell event.

Cheers

One alternative would be to make use of a TQuery component and have the calculated fields worked out for you within the scope of the SQL result set (underlying database permitting).

Or use the OnGetText to calculate the data properly after running the query.
