The grid builder is the only one I bother with. I find grids difficult at the best of times but so useful. I still don't understand 'sparse' and whenever I add a checkbox I need to mess around with it.

But for the newbies out there like myself. The secret seems to be to: 1. Add your table via the data environment. 2. Use the builder to add your columns (fields) This will expose the column valid and stuff like that where you can add something like this WAIT WINDOW thisform.grid1.coLUMN4.text1.text && place this in the column4.header1.text1.valid If you do not use the builder to add your columns, you never see this stuff and you pull what little hair you have left out. So now that I have read reams of papers on grids, and finally figured out how to display the number I entered, I think it is time for a break. There appear to be several excellent books on whil's site regarding these subjects, but unfortunately they are out of reach for me right now so I really do appreciate those that have added tips to their websites --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
