I have an idea, but not sure. When I pasted your code, I noticed end of line characters in some of your strings.
For example: <mx:Object case="1006" patient="Sandy Macdaddy" arrival="2007/12/05" delivery="2007/12/20" /> This should be <mx:Object case="1006" patient="Sandy Macdaddy" arrival="2007/12/05" delivery="2007/12/20" /> I cleaned it, compiled it, and ran it. All was good. However, I also changed it from an Mx:Module to an Mx:Canvas, and then dropped it in my main application.

I have a pretty much textbook example of how to set up a datagrid that is resulting in compile time syntax errors. I can't for the life of me see the error. Any ideas?
