Hi Mark, thanks for your assitance and pointers which I appreciate.

Maybe if I rephrase my question.

My existing App creates Excel like Tables , and I suppose what I am really looking for is some sort of a Grid utility which will have the functionality , by parameter, or at a high level to:

1) Display columns
2) facility to click on a Header to resort the data
3) Faciliity to say automatically' total each column on the grid
4) Facility, by press of a button, to graph the data.
5) facility by press of a button, to print the data
Maybe I am looking for UTOPIA but I vaguely remmeber such tools being written about in Foxpro Advisor I think a no. of Months/Years ago.

regards,

Gerard



>You have all this with Excel and the programming effort is mininal. The download off Hector's site has classes you can use. All you have to provide it the data. Excel can also use external data so there is no record limit Excel can use to create these types of tables.
