>- persuade MS VFP team to improve grid control or create a new one that is better.

How about creating a Wikis topic where you detail everything that you want in a new grid? If you say "one that is better" that doesn't give people alot to go on, and the VFP team has no idea what we're thinking.

Personally, I can only think of a few problems with grids, but otherwise, I've been able to get them to do what I want.
