Use CurValue to examine the value of a field when a problem occurs while posting a value to the database using a provider. If the current field value causes a problem, such as a key violation, when posting the value, an event is generated to allow applications to respond to the problem. Provider components generate an OnUpdateError event. If a provider returns problem records to the client dataset, the client dataset generates an OnReconcileError event. In the OnUpdateError or OnReconcileError event handler, NewValue is the unposted value that caused the problem, OldValue is the value that was originally assigned to the field before any edits were made, and CurValue is the value that is currently assigned to the field. CurValue may differ from OldValue if another user changed the value of the field after OldValue was read.
