: I recently read that if using filters with datasets you shouldn't use a datamodule. What would be the reason for this?

Can you please tell me were you read that, so that I can check out the source?

I'm asking this, because it's the first time that I see this advice. Personally, I've never seen any performance difference between using a datamodule or dropping the components (TTable,...) directly on your form.

I design and implement custom Delphi database applications for a living, since the first appearance of Delphi 1. In bigger projects I use datamodules, in small ones I don't. But I've always been looking for optimizations :) so if somebody can give me a valid argument for not using datamodules with filters, I'll be the first to test it out and to let everybody know!
