<H2>Tutorial: FileMan Delphi Components (FMDC)</H2>
Congratulations! You have now created a sample application that performs entry lookup, and retrieves fields from any record selected by the end-user. You are now ready to create your own Delphi-based applications using the RPC Broker.

If your application needs to perform database tasks with VA FileMan on a VistA M Server, you should consider using the '''FileMan Delphi Components''' (FMDC). These components automate the major tasks of working with database records through Delphi. Among the functions they provide are:
* Automated entry retrieval into a set of controls
* Automated online help for database fields
* Automated validation of user data entry
* Automated filing of changed data
* IEN tracking in all controls
* Automated DBS error tracking on the Delphi client
* Generic lookup dialog
* Record locking
* Record deletion

If you need to do more than the most simple database tasks in your Delphi-based applications, the FileMan Delphi Components (FMDC) encapsulate most of the coding needed to retrieve, validate, and file VA FileMan data.

NOTE: For more information on FileMan Delphi Components (FMDC), please refer to the FMDC Web site at: http://vista.med.va.gov/fmdc/index.asp
