Hello John,
I see you've reverted to the old favourite footnote, I've tried code in the init of the grid before and it fails if the wrong container is current when you call DBGetProp(), as a temporary measure I've added a property to my grid base class which contains the name of the DBC and populate it with the correct info at build time, fortunately at present most of my work is in house so it's not too much of a problem. If you know of a solution where one could ( from the init of a grid ) ascertain the DBC I would be very grateful.

Regards
Pete Kane
