Part of the issue here is to allow the dispatcher to assign trucks from the full detail view. The pace that they are working at already has them using note pads to record assignments and having to go back when they have a minute to bring their data up to date. I am trying to eliminate that by giving them a dispatch sheet that they can record data on. I basically have the grid working, I am trying to sort out some of the "foibles" with how grids and custom containers work. I was thinking about a grid in a grid but didn't have the time to really pursue it. Thanks,
