How do I access my Remote Data Module(RDM)'s instance from another unit at runtime? (The RDM is single instance). When I create a normal Data Module descendant Delphi creates a variable for it in the same unit (ex: MyDM: TMyDM), but when I create a RDM's descendant there's no variable.
I'm trying to set the provider of a TClientDataSet created at runtime in another unit to a TDataSetProvider in my RDM, but I can't find a reference to my RDM's instance.
I also tried to do it at design time but while I have no problems to set the connection property of a TSQLQuery from the same unit to a TSQLConnection in that RDM, I wasn't able to set the TClientDataSet's provider, because no providers from the RDM appears in the TClientDataSet's provider list.
First you need to set the RemoteServer property of your client dataset, assign it an instance of TLocalConnection component (which should be placed on your remote data module since you are not using it remotely). The remote data module unit has to be in the uses clause of the unit with the client dataset, of course.
Then you can assign the ProviderName property of your client dataset.
