Grid can be wild, but outruns tamer horses when you ride it properly

Well said!

>>"Heaven forbid" only because of references I've here in UT apparently disparaging them. I have a number of applications which are entirely dependent on grids, and can't imagine any other way of presenting the information to my users. (and I don't think it merely reflects a lack of imagination on my part.)

>Grids can be nasty, specially if you have odd controls in them - but then, I've written a few huge forms (1000 pixels across) where the Big Wide Grid took more than half the space, and still had to be scrolled both ways. And guess what - the user says that's exactly what he wanted. And I've even added a few tricks to it, like each of a certain range of columns having its own clipboard, writing into several other tables from this grid, etc etc.
