What about multiple linked grids...not a grid within a grid. In other words, at the top of the form, a master grid with job information, and below, a linked grid that contains the trucks for the job. As the user scrolls through the jobs, the trucks for the job will show in the child grid, below.

>I am developing an application for a trucking company and am starting to work on a dispatch form. They are currently using Excel to display the information that they use but this has several drawbacks. To me this suggests a grid but the problem is that they need to see so much info about each job (including the 20 trucks assigned) while displaying as many jobs as possible on the form that it needs display more than one row per record. I have started playing with custom controls to locate more than one text box in a container which I can then place in the grid but since I have never seen or heard of anyone doing this I have the feeling that I am going to discover something ugly or am overlooking an obvious alternative. Any thoughts?
