Cols and rows in field

Hi Josep,

Replace empty columns with a space to give all of them a 'real' value.
Your PK should be the last column and the width of your field  
calculated to not show this last column.
To show an icon, you have two ways:
Or you build html on the fly using <img src="xxxx"> (set the htmlText  
of fld "Table" to tHtmlText) or you set the imageSource of the chars  
you want to 'xxxx' (put tText into fld "Table" then use a repeat loop  
to set the correct imageSource).
Short answer but hope this helps :-)
