To answer to Dave's questions: - Yes they can select more than one line. Wat I call the "selected lines" are the lines fetched by the current query. - I only need that on the server side. When you write "If on the server, doesn't the db query for the row selected give that value?" I do not really understand. In fact I think I need (on the server the side) to know what is the current query and based on it, to build an appropriate query with the appropriate "DISTINCT" clause. But I do not even know how to get the query that generated the current grid selection...
