This presumes you "know" what the line should be. If you want the data from a selected line, use the dgHilitedLine(s) to get the line number(s), or as I always like to do, use dgHilitedIndex because they remain constant even after a sort. dgHilitedLine refers to the visible rows (plus a couple buffer rows I understand). dgHilitedIndex refers to any record in the dg data array. The index number will remain constant even after a sort (but not of course after setting the dgText or dgData).

So if you were looping through all the visible records, use line. If through all the records in the data grid, use index.

Hey cool. Didn't occur to me to ignore the built in function and grab it
directly.  Haven't tried it but would sure simplify nicely. Thx!

Hi.

Why not just:

on mouseUp
get the dgDataOfLine[2] of grp "yourDG"
combine it with return and tab
answer it
end mouseUp
