No I can't afford to travel to Borcon! It's a shame too because I
used to live on the west Cost where they always seem to be!
BTW...I did solve my stringrid problem after all!

Hi Robert,
I am assuming that you are using the basic stringgrid suppled with
Delphi. I can highly recommend the TMS StringGrid. It is extremely
powerful with built in printing set up (headers, footers, title,
margins, style, etc.). It has several options for saving column
options as well as several different styles of saving/loading the grid
data. Bruno is extremely helpful and prompt with his Registered
users. I have seen some posts complaining about the documentation. I
have found the 60+ sample projects on stringgrids very helpful in
learning new features. My only complaint is that after your update
period has expired you loose the ability to read posts in the TMS
newsgroups. I cannot think of a project that I have done in the last
4 years that has not had at least one TMS stringgrid in it. Do you
ever go to BorCon?
