Would this work with a stack on disk that hasn't been opened yet?
Definitely stealing your functions thx. :)
Oh, as to the OP, my first thought on why it wasn't working, is that the
stack wasn't open (hence the need to address it's on disk location), but
another thought occurred to me. I'm wondering if the standalone auto
inclusions can be affected by moving substacks into separate stackfiles
Perhaps the datagrid support libraries aren't being included?
