>Thanks again for the nudge in the right direction, Bonnie

You're welcome, Bill. But, I'm going to give you an even bigger nudge. Keep reading ...

I decided to use an array of typed datasets - one for each day. It's the same idea as the bindingsource, but I'm more familiar with datasets, so I opted for them.

Hmmm ... I guess I don't get that decision. You already had a DataSet (Typed I assume). It already had a Typed DataTable with 31 rows of data. Now you're duplicating all of that data 31 times in an array? Or are you copying one row at a time into 31 new DataTables? Either way, that doesn't make sense because it's a lot of extra work/processing for no gain. Really, you should try the BindingSource idea ... it will be a lot less work and much cleaner code.

Just my 2 cents ...
