>Pros:
>LV has a real time slider (opposed to grid's snap to)
>LV is cached, pointers are set quickly
>LV allows [all] column sorts without index
>LV offers multi-select
>LV offers image
>LV is what consumers are "used" to (grid is mostly a VFP phenomena)
>LV is fast
>LV PRG frameworks are easily generalized and adapt well to other projects
>LV automation script is the same as most of the other "sexy" OCX controls
>LV scripting skills enhance our practical understanding of OOP.
>
>Cons:
>Cannot bind to a data source. Rows and columns must be programtically added and updated (no direct entry except for "main" or listitem column - script code can be tedious:-) Grids may be edited directly (like a spread sheet). It could be argued, however, that [over] reliance on grid entry solutions may not be putting the best face on Foxpro.

>Skills with VFP's mean record pointing machine. SEEK and loop, the the speed of light, through the data rather than SELECT. To retrieve data, code must back point to the source "cursor". Edit changes will have to be written back to both source cursor and LV control (tedious script).

Terry,
I am taxing my memory and possibly confusing two controls * but * don't LV slow down with over 100 records?
