Data Grids ???

So, having downloaded a trial of RunRev 3.5 I created a DataGrid and
imported a tab-delimited text file exported from an Appleworks spreadsheet.
And, it is really super!
NOW, cynical person that I am (and I will hedge this by pointing out
that until I watched the excellent instructional video
"data-grid-webinar.wmv" on the RunRev website
it never would have even occurred to me to do this), I imported the same
tab-delimited text file exported from an Appleworks spreadsheet into a
table-field.
Now, the DataGrid looks a lot "sexier" with its alternating coloured lines
and its automatic headers. I am assuming that there is a lot more "under
the hood" to differentiate a DataGrid from a Table-Field . . .
What I found slightly worrying was that my tab-delim text file had 9 columns of data; all 9 were imported into the Table-Field, but for some
unknown reason, only 8 were imported into the DataGrid:
