Hi Kevin,

Just a quick question and thought. Is this Windows or Web forms? In Windows, one thing I have done is stack the grids one on top of the other and just bring the one I want to the front via code. With web, one thing you can try out is that when a grid has no data it doesn't display. You might be able to just get rid of the data for a grid and replace it with another. Alternatively you can just use the same grid and programatically change everything on it to suit the selected usage. There are probably lots of ways to skin this one, and it depends on the look and feel you want. Also, the ways obviously change based on web versus windows.

To facilitate this I am creating Panes with the grids or controls on them that I want to display, which is determined by what the user clicks on the left side. When the user clicks an item in the left side area, I will remove the current pane and add the selected pane, then load it with any data required.
