hi all,

well, i have this problem i am creating a simple dataset set on the fly like this :-
objSimpleDS := TSimpleDataSet.Create(nil);

the problem is when i create it with nil the dataset doesn`t appear in the designer of th reports, i have to create it like this in order to view it in the designer:-
objSimpleDS := TSimpleDataSet.Create(form1);

anyone knows how to solve this problem,
i need to create the database with nil.

Dataset must have an Owner (form or datamodule) and a Name in order to work in FR.

i want to create them with nil, because my dataset is created in unit that is called through a dll, which means that my exe is separated from the unit that i use to interact with the database.
so because of that i am creating it with the nil parameter.

if there is no way that the designer recognize the dataset except with creating the dataset with an owner please tell me.
