I see what you mean! The Bizobj gets the connection as an arg in the
constructor and the table is defined in the it's DataSource property.

I see what your code is doing. So here's what I have done:
In the form's afterInitAll() definition:
def afterInitAll(self):
self.requery()
# populate the author grid
authorBizobj = self.getBizobj('author')
# taking advantage of RegID's
self.grdAuthorLst.DatSet = authorBizobj.getDataSet(fdls=('authorname',))
self.grdAuthorLst.refresh()
The author bizobj is correctly defined! I did clean-up the Grid DataSource and
the Column DataField properties in the designer (as per docs indication it's
only possible to set the DataSet property if the DataSource prop is not set).
But this is not working.
BTW. I was trying to set the properties via designer supposing that the Grid's
DataSource and the Column's DataField would be enough to get the grid populated.
Thanks,
Miguel
