>In the choice of having a grid control, which one is the best? I have tried the Microsoft Data Bound Grid Control and the Microsoft FlexGrid Control. I found the FlexGrid control to be better. Any comments?

Those 2 grids are very different from each other. You can't edit a FlexGrid, but you can merge cells.
I'd suggest that you take a look at True dbGrid 5. It's the full feature version of dbGrid. You can download an eval from www.apexsc.com.
If you like FlexGrid (version 1 that is), check version 3 also available as a demo at www.videosoft.com.

Sheridan, Visual Components also have grids.
