Hi Ian,
Still pluggin along I see. I'd be intrested to see your code when your done.
You could base the height of the grid on the panel container. Adjust the height to compensate for the other controls in the panel above the grid.
<mx:DataGrid height="{myPanel.Height}-50" />

If I give it an absolute height (300) it works the way I want in that a scroll bar is generated allowing the user the scroll through all the days and events inside the 300 pixel high box in the middle of the application. But then it is hard coded to 300 pixels high meaning that if the browser display is large enough a portion of the panel space is blank because the grid can not expand to fill it.

The entire application is expanded to contain all the days and events and the entire application then scrolls. Thus losing the navigation controls off the top of the browser canvas when the user scrolls down.
