I try to use enhanced dbgrids as much as possible. They seem to run faster for me and you can use the filter easily.
BTW, you can do lookups and expressions on enhanced dbgrids.

IMO the DBGrid "looks" more windows-like and I use it all the time for simple things like maintenance of lookup-type of tables. However, if I have to display lookup data on the form for each row (like the names of clients or items, or other lookup type of data) I find scrolling regions the way to go. So to me, it's just one question: do I have to display lookups or not. Others might speak to whether the performance is the same on both, I have no clue....

I think I can do it two different ways, ie 1 DB Grid object per table and select the desired columns, vs 1 scrolling region per table and place the columns I want using DB Editobjects on the scrolling regions. Is there a preferred method? Using the Scrolling regions seems to give me more flexibility but might take me longer. Should they both perform equally well? Mike
