Hi Tom, I just checked the size of the icns icon in the resources folder, and it says it is 2.9mb in size so I’m assuming that is probably OK. Other ideas? Thanks, Rick > On Nov 21, 2018, at 2:00 PM, Tom Glod via use-livecode > wrote: > > I'm not sure if this applies fully to your case

I had set the dgProp ["columns"] to more than 900. :-) Not only did the DG fail to display any data, but it actually KILLED THE DG! I could no longer set the dgData to empty, nor could I edit the contents in the property inspector and delete the text. I had to delete the DG and create a new

I tested with a table field. It can hold far many more columns, but it, too, will go haywire if the tabStops are wide and the number of columns exceeds about 1500. I was surprised that the number of columns matters. Certainly they are not all drawn at once, but rather "exposed" based on internal
