Hi Ed

Let's give credit where it's due. As I understand things this was invented / discovered by Andy Kramek and is what is called the Safe Select.

IMO the grid should have an ability in itself to overcome this. I imagine the safe select cannot be as fast inserting a large number of rows as a native way for the grid to prevent this.
