>I'll try 'append from array' and then load the cursor to the Grid. I wonder what makes Grids so hard to update? They certainly look good in the form, but it seems like the type of thing where you have to throw more and more code at it to make it work... and there's always that last exception.

Hello, Bill.

I think grid are subject to much debate and tricks because they are very powerful and quite complex by definition. It is true that they lack a couple of things that complicates some things, but, overall, they are not so hard once you get accustomed to them.

Mainly, some of the things that they lacked until now that I referred above:

* WordWrap in headers that allows you to make them multiline.
* A new RowColChange property that tells you what actually changed (a row or a column) in the Before/AfterRowColChange events.
* HighlightFore/BackColor. This two properties are just because the Fox Team felt so much envvy of Nick Neklioudov's Grid Highlighter. 8-)

Seriously, this last was a major fault of grids (just highlight the current row) that has many workarounds (Nick's one of the best), and now it's native and quick.

Best luck!
