Jim,

check your mail.
I think it will make my ideas clearer if you've tested my version, so we can better discuss the points below. Simple open a thread with this problem to me here in ut, this is the fastest way..

Don't bother to much on my requirements. I think they are a little bit special. ::)

>(1) PEM Editor now provides option to ignore _MemberData altogether. I think your suggestion of altering Global values is a great extension.

>(2) You were the person who indicated that the values entered for properties were being improperly converted (in many cases, not converted, but left as character). I have tried to fix this, and will make additional corrections if there are any data types not provided for.

>(3) You refer to the value editor not meeting your requirements. What are those requirements?
>
>(4) We already have planned an enhancement that will allow customization for setting default values for properties based on their names. A PRG will be provided that can then be modified to suit your own needs (this requires re-compiling the APP, of course)
>
>(5) As it happens, the "grid" part of PEM Editor and the "controls" part are in separate classes. As such, I don't think it should terribly hard to create a mini "New" form (although we have had no plans of doing so.)
>
>(6) You mention over-riding the type ... can you explain?
>
>I'd love to hear from you in more detail.

>BTW -- I use PEM Editor now as a replacement for both Property Window and Document View. Yes, there are some features missing ... it's not a complete replacement. Nonetheless, my use of those two has dramatically declined.
