You lost me there Jan, are you telling me you can set the imageSource of
char 1 of line x of a variable and then set the htmlText of the field to the
variable? (That's what I was suggesting I'd like to try, but if you could
set the imageSource of a chunk of a variable then you wouldn't need to set
the htmlText anyway, you could just put the variable - including images -
into the field. Except you can't. Can you?)

And thanks William, I already have a ListMagic trial - and am very
impressed, only I need to have several checkboxes in different columns.
ListMagic is limited to a fixed position checkbox in only one column, plus
it came after I'd already rolled my own table control in this particular
app. It's not very generic, and I'd like to have a true table control
(please vote for QCC #670 everyone!)
 It's very sad - I'd emailed Eric to see if there were any options with
regard to enhanced checkboxes and/or potential for making some source
available to work on that aspect for him and donating back to ListMagic, but
after a few days I found out the reason for him not replying. Such a
terrible loss to the community.
