I concur with Brahmanathaswami that, in particular, datagrid forms (I haven't worked with tables (yet)) are very finicky with regard to scrolling. I still would greatly appreciate some help with a recently submitted message to this group, Subject:
datagrid form question Once you play around with a grid enough, it becomes clearer on what you can and cannot do. Regarding DGH v2... during my initial foray into datagrid forms (very recent, by the way), I was hoping that DGH v2 would be the panacea for the initial confusion regarding datagrids. Alas, it is likely a fine tool but, from my perspective (as many aspects of LC), it may be most effective once one has mastered the fundamentals of datagrid construction and usage. I downloaded the trial version and will go back to it ASAP now that I am over that initial learning hump ... with A LOT more to learn, I'm sure. It would probably be worthwhile to read through my two posts under " datagrid form question " to consider what I discovered with regard to scrolling... hopefully, I've made the explanation clear enough but if not, I'd be glad to expand on the subject. Thanks in advance.
