I did read your explanation, but obviously I misunderstood something. My
apologies.
Marty
I don't think you fully read my explanation and why this is not what I want.
I don't want to recompile every time and this method is specific to one
datagrid. I am not using the 'splash stack' method so much as I am using a
launcher with all the libraries and engine in one place.
I've read the piece on how to add the datagrid to stacks assembled in the
standalone creator, however this is different.
I don't change the splash stack - everything other than the engine and
libraries live in the current stack.

Stephen,

"Some developers prefer to use a launcher (or splash) stack technique. This
technique builds a standalone using a stack with very little code in it. In
this case the stack used to build the standalone will not have a substack
whose name begins with "Data Grid Templates" as no data grids have been
added to it.
In this case you will need to create a substack that tricks the Standalone
Builder into adding the necessary stack files. From the File menu, create a
new substack of your launcher stack (1).
Name the substack "Data Grid Templates Dud" and save your launcher stack.
Now if you build a standalone application the Standalone Builder will
include the necessary data grid stack."

I've used this trick and find it works.

I have a lot of 'quick' stacks around that are too specific and tiny for
each to have its own engine - what I've been doing is compiling a
standalone
'Launcher' that looks at a web folder and lists the available stacks.
i then select one and launch it via the 'go URL' command. Slick. Inspired
by
Ken Ray's invention. It can also upload stacks.
I can then use any of these stacks anywhere with no IDE. Very nice except
I
can't seem to make datagrids work on stacks that are used this way. I was
able to ascertain that indeed the substack with the datagrid template was
there. But the datagrid just won't respond.
I've tried start-using but it seems to have no effect.
I've read the piece on how to add the datagrid to stacks assembled in the
standalone creator, however this is different.
I don't change the splash stack - everything other than the engine and
libraries live in the current stack.
How do I connect the datagrid to the substack in this situation? It's a
drag to have two pieces , but since this is on the same stack file,
shouldn't this just work?
thanks for any help
