I've always seen people say they had trouble with data entry grids and
never understood why. I use them all the time without any problems.
What sort of problems have you encountered?
Let me just say that I think he can control field and record validations
easier using single controls instead of entering them in a grid. Not to
say that it can't be done (obviously, since you say it works great for
you). I can see users adding grid records then not completely filling
fields and adding blank/partial records, etc. and then it's a cleanup
job. With singular entry controls (outside the grid), I feel like I can
keep the user on the straight/narrow path and deal with issues
immediately without lots of hoops. Plus, since I design in n-tier
fashion and pass the record object, it makes it easy. Sure, you could
do the SCATTER MEMO NAME toRecord on the grid events that signal the
user has moved rows, but I prefer my approach. ymmv
