Yeah Tim, that worked. height="{panel1.height - 160}" Now the really cool trick would be have the 160 be based on the height of the two controls above the grid. But for now, this is great.
Now I am off to the biggest chalenge to date. Creating some behavious, states and maybe a transition. Not sure where to even start.

Hi Ian,
The first example was almost correct. This will work:
<mx:DataGrid height="{parentPanel.height- 50}"/>
Change "parentPanel" to the id of your panel.
