Hello, I just wanted to thank you again for your assistance.
I ended up using a work-around approach to get this working. I've attached an example of my code that demonstrates the approach that I took. http://old.nabble.com/file/p28015934/TableRenderFix.java TableRenderFix.java I hope at least one other person can find it useful at some point down the road. If you have any questions about it, let me know. Thanks again, -- Cam 1T3XT info wrote: > > mistercam wrote: >> I hope my explanation is a bit more clear. > > A picture says a thousand words.
