Tom,
I would second Rachel's observation. I rarely utilize scrolling regions anymore.
There is so much information that I can display now (in 7.6 and up) in a
VariableListView
(such as background colors, images) that it is my preferred control now.

I gotta tell ya Tom, I too started off with same idea of using a scroll for
informative child data but have dropped that method for a variable list view
because the users can sort any of the list view columns and a double click eep
to open the detail form. The list view is really slick plus don't have to
include the child table as a form table, just a where statement for the list
that is ..
where ChildTableForiegnKey = .FormPrimaryKeyVariable
and you can have as many list as you like.
Have a Fabulous Day!

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Order for a slave scroll
Started adding a scroll within a form for a slave table. The data is
entered elsewhere and the scroll is simply informational. A button is included
to allow the user to go off to the detail if they want. Works great and the
users like it. Two questions:
1. Is there a way to use the ORDER BY command for that slave based scroll?
2. Can there be more than one unrelated slave scroll, each using separate
ORDER BY commands in the same form?
Unrelated slave scrolls without ORDER BY work fine, but getting separate
ORDER BYs to work is tapping the edge of my current understanding in R:Base V8.
