Hi Trevor Thanks for the reply.
I'll take a closer look at my column names/key names and look for discrepancies. And thanks for the information on the sort command I'll play around with that too. BTW I can't sign off without commenting on the quality and extent of the documentation you have supplied for the Data Grid - it is fantastic. Thanks again for that and the advice here. 2009/4/15 Trevor DeVore <[email protected]>: > On Apr 15, 2009, at 12:35 PM, Ian McKnight wrote: > >> ... >> >> Is this the correct way to create a table view of data held in an >> array?
