Hi Bonnie.
Yes, I thought that was a major oversight as well.. but I'm 99 % sure it cant be done....sure with mirrors and speding a few weeks you can get it to work... eventually had to purchase a module from RESCO.. wh have done it
Also got confirmation back form a Microsoft guy thqt 2008 does not do it either !!
Regards,
Gerard

>>Just for your reference...if you ever intend using Compact Framework..there are some very basic things you just cannot do out of the Box.....
>>1. Cannot Wrap text
>>2. Cannot Edit a Grid
>>3. Cannot FTP files
>>4. No Printer drivers
>>5. There are probably lots more which I havent come across yet

>>These are what I would call 'Basic' requirements in any application.. I just wonder why they bothered....for each of these (except first which I can live with) I have to go out and purchase / (acquire..some may be free) third party components..... not a good recommendation for one of the largest corporations in the planet....just my little gripe
