Needs to be a very simple-to-use tool that can map onto tables that are dynamically generated and simply allow the non-technical user to filter the data and/or sort on one or more columns. VFP itself is much too complicated for the level of user I'm dealing with.

Hi Frank,

I've got a general purpose table browser class that allows all that stuff.
It may need some tweaking to fit your purpose. If you'd like it, just eMail me.
