Hi Andre It appears that you have all of the basics data grid usage I am trying to create for my project. Since I am so new to LC it will take a bit to fully understand what your project is doing.
I am going on a weeks business trip so I won't be able to really dig into the code until I return. I will surly have some questions. Thank you for your assistance and the help your providing. This is a basic component to my project development, so it will get me off on the right foot.
