Of course we can use other grid objects (purchased or not) and avoid those problems and limitations, some of us (how many?) already mastered it.

>PS: I got encouraged to post this message (related to plain vanilla programming issues) after seeing the UT VFP Survey, where it can be noticed the high number of folks developing desktop apps (Single-user desktop: 16%, Fileserver based multi-user: 52%, Fat client with database server: 15% - totals 83%). It seems to me that not everybody is programming web apps or web services (Web-based with fat client: 2%, Web-based with browser: 10% - totals 12%), that (seems to me) is deserving most of VFP team's attention.

Fernando,
I'd also love a better grid. But I object this saying "cumbersome, complex, problematic and featureless is VFP's grid class".
