Barbara,
I hope I didn't imply that anywhere along the line, I was saying the SQL that generated the array could instead be hooked to the grid or converted to a view that the grid would use. I agree it would be nice to just show an array in a grid... it wouldn't be that hard a grid subclass or UDF to write though.
>Can you really link an ARRAY to a grid? I've used SQL Cursors, but never arrays, although sometimes that would fit better with the data. I'm curious, since the rest of your messages apply to cursors/views not arrays.
