Delphi Dbgrid delete a record - database

Question

I have a multiple tabsheet. Each tabsheet in my PageControl that contain an Dbgrid with some button to manipulate this dbgrid.
Sometimes, when i click on button remove, my DBGrid not change. After delete, i see my value in my DBgrid.
If MyTable.recordcount > 0 then
begin
str := 'Value of name field/**' + MyTable.FieldByName('Name').AsString+'**/';
If Application.MessageBox(PChar(str), PChar('NAME'), MB_OKCANCEL + MB_ICONQUESTION) = IDOK then
begin
MyTable.Delete;
end;
end;
I try to add
MyTable.Refresh;
after delete but it doesn't work.
The value of myfield in the MessageBox is correct!
This problem appear when i select another Tabsheet in MyDBgrid.
It can be problem of focus in my DBGrid? It can be problem of state of my DBGrid(dsBrowser, dsEdit,...)?
=========================================================
I try to create a log for BeforeDelete event and AfterDelete event :
Log(1,'------------------------------------Before Del');
Log(1,Format('DataSet.IsEmpty:%s',[BoolToStr1(DataSet.IsEmpty)]));
Log(1,Format('DataSet.State:%d',[Ord(DataSet.State)]));
Log(1,'--------');
Log(1,Format('DataSet.RecNo:%d',[DataSet.RecNo]));
Log(1,Format('DataSet.TabSheet:%s',[DataSet.FieldByName('TabSheetName').AsString]));
Log(1,Format('DataSet.FieldName:%s',[DataSet.FieldByName('FieldName').AsString]));
Log(1,Format('DataSet.FieldId:%s',[DataSet.FieldByName('FieldId').AsString]));
on AfterDelete event :
Log(1,'------------------------------------After Del');
Log(1,Format('DataSet.IsEmpty:%s',[BoolToStr1(DataSet.IsEmpty)]));
Log(1,Format('DataSet.State:%d',[Ord(DataSet.State)]));
Log(1,'--------');
Log(1,Format('DataSet.RecNo:%d',[DataSet.RecNo]));
Log(1,Format('DataSet.TabSheet:%s',[DataSet.FieldByName('TabSheetName').AsString]));
Log(1,Format('DataSet.FieldName:%s',[DataSet.FieldByName('FieldName').AsString]));
Log(1,Format('DataSet.FieldId:%s',[DataSet.FieldByName('FieldId').AsString]));
I use the tabsheet as :
enter image description here
I obtain this log
------------------------------------Before Del
DataSet.IsEmpty:False
DataSet.State:1
--------
DataSet.RecNo:7
DataSet.TabSheet:tabsheet_0
DataSet.FieldName:
DataSet.FieldId:03
------------------------------------After Del
DataSet.IsEmpty:False
DataSet.State:1
--------
DataSet.RecNo:6
DataSet.TabSheet:tabsheet_0
DataSet.FieldName:
DataSet.FieldId:03
You can see in my log: the dataset not change (filedname and fieldId not change / the RecNo properties is change ) after delete the row that contain 03.

Since your problem is intermittent, you'll have to debug it yourself, because readers can't do that for you.
The first thing to do is to set up a logging function and call it in the dataset's BeforeDelete and AfterDelete events. You should record in it the identity of the current dataset row, the dataset's state (dsBrowse, dsEdit, etc) and anything other you think might be relevant (e.g. the identity of the active tabsheet) and see if you can spot in what circumstances the Delete fails. You could write the results of your logging calls to a TMemo on your form.
Ime, it's good practice only to allow a Delete if the dataset is in dsBrowse state.
By the way, I assume you are aware that a Delete operation is automatically aborted if the dataset is in dsInsert or dsSetKey state? From what you've described, I'd start debugging by investigating whether it's in dsInsert state when your problem arises. Of course, you can catch when the dataset is being put into dsInsert state by catching its BeforeInsert event and calling your logging function from there.
