Can't assign values programmatically to a TDBEdit control

Hi all - a simple problem that's driving me up the wall. I have a
fairly simple database with a typical construction:

TADOConnection -> TADOTable ->TDataSource->TDBEdit. Hooked up to an
Access database, I can read and write data correctly, so the
connection is good.

Problem: when I programmatically assign a value to TDBEdit.Text
(DBEdit1.text := 'Test';) the new value is displayed on the screen,
but apparently not stored to the datafield. As soon as I click on the
DBEdit field again, the displayed string reverts back to the original
value.

In addition, the "Post" and "Revert" buttons on the atached
TDBNavigator don't become enabled after I assign the new value, which
indicates to me the datasource doesn't think the data has changed.

I can edit the values manually at runtime by clicking in the field and
typing, just not programmatically.

I've tried changing cursortypes and locations, no difference.

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Jim
