Craig,

Thanks for the validation.

What if my Data Entry form shows a 'partial' set of rows like the way Yahoo Mail does it. When the user hits Down (or PageDown) key on the last record, my CA class will then get the next X rows; conversely, if the user hits Up or PageUp. Obviously, the grid will be used for this. When the user resizes the form though, how will we know the number of visible rows?

Any idea how this can be implemented? Or is this a stupid idea?

Dennis

>>4. only when records are pulled out will Data Nav, Edit, Save and Undo be enabled
