My point was that a grid control designed to BE a grid control is a powerful RAD tool when dealing with large amounts of data and database stuff. While it has many of the needed features, the basic design of the listbox being based around simple lists (thus essentially row oriented instead of cell oriented) does not cut it. In addition it's lacking several of the UI features people associate with spreadsheets but are more generally useful. This includes as I said merging cells and freezing rows and columns for horizontal and vertical scrolling purposes. - karen _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
