is it possible to edit a field in a VCL TDBGrid with TADOTable as a data source?

Question

I recently modified some old UI code using Delphi's VCL to use ADO instead of BDE. One of the screens used a TDBGrid control to modify the underlying DataSource, but it appears that is no longer possible to edit the values in the grid. Here is how I have it configured:

TDBGrid->TDataSource->TADOTable

I found this post on another forum that seemed related: http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Delphi/alt.comp.lang.borland-delphi/2009-08/msg00023.html

Is this a limitation of ADO? Or do I simply need to change the settings of a control somewhere? (cursor type or something?)

Answer 1

Okay, I solved the problem. When I converted the project from Delphi 6 to Delphi 2007, it changed the Options property of the TDBGrid control to seemingly random values (perhaps some defaults?). In this case, the dgEditing option was set to false.
