Sorry RK - seems I just got TOO Excited when the topic of Grids pop-up,
that I couldn't hold back! And, since I've done it that way before - via
the DE - to rapidly create a grid w/Specific fields - I just that Gene
just might consider to try it. OK - I shall hold back a little now on my
enthusiasm...
Crawling back under my rock now...

Easy there, Kurt. I'm not completely rejecting setting up grids in code; I type
much faster than I click. :-) Just trying to point out that there's a lot of
tedious code to write if Gene starts that way. BTW I think you can just drag a
DBF and drop on a form to create a grid. Your advice to use the DE is more
controlled, of course. You can also have a play with the grid builder which can
also be a good exercise.
Lately I do find myself doing a lot of grid manipulation in code especially
when setting the recordsource at runtime but the initial creation is so much
easier with the GUI. Gene, getting your head wrapped around BINDEVENTS, if you
haven't done so already, will also be really important if you're going to get
into the newer grid features.

Gene - I totally agree w/RK! Creating a Grid on a Form via Visual Design is
really the best way to go - at least in my opinion. And, you can do it in an
interesting an intuitive way.
Create a Form. Right click in the Form and open the Data Environment.
Add a DBF to the D. Env. - and, now - with DBF & its fields displayed in the
D.E. - select a number of the field by clicking - and I think holding down shift.
Then - simply Drag all those selected fields onto the Form - and you instantly have
a Grid that's been populated with the fields that you need!
