>>My question is this:
>>
>>Why don't one of you VFP gurus write a book on just grids? The best book I've seen on grids is the one called "1001 Things You Wanted to Know About Visual FoxPro", published by Hentzenwerke (of course). The writers were: Marcia Akins, Andy Kramek and Rick Schummer. This book contains about 37 pages on just grids, in Chapter 6, titled: "Grids, the Misunderstood Controls". Additionally, Jim Duffy covers grids in his VFP Training materials (www.takenote.com)...

>I whole heartedly agree, and with the replies so far as well. The projects I work on just cry out for grids, and I'm struggling to get a handle on them. Inventory management, client and subclient management, work order details, with the data coming from seperate tables. It seems as though the grid is the best control.
>I'd be glad to help compose a volume from all the writings scattered around UT and other places. I'm sure alot of what we want to know is there, just not in the organized fashion that a book would give. Who else can help?

Hi Matthew,

If you have enough talant and preservance to organize this thing, I would try to contact the 'grid-experts' first: Marcia Akins - "the Queen of the grid", Nick N - "Doctor Grid", Cetin Basoz and Vlad Grynchyshyn.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
