Hi again

Just thought I would let you know Ive cracked what i wanted to do

May seem simple to you byt it works as I want

I have built a panel with a AdvancedDataList built onto it.

I then override the data section that I want so it gets the data I want for the form

I then set the properties in the Sub Classed AdvancedDatalist and it all works well

Just a couple of override methods in the subForm and about 30 minute work setting the properties in the AD List

Now Ive got to look at the SmartGrid!!!

Thanks for your help

Richard
