Hi Trevor,

I followed the instructions, but it did not work. After that I  
experimented a bit over the weekend and found the 'problem'.
The substack "Data Grid Templates 12343etc" got created all right, so  
no need for the  "Data Grid Templates Dud" substack. The reason why  
the datagrids did not work in the standalone is that somehow the  
revdatagridLib did not load all right. After opening the separate  
stack "revdatagridLib" that you've sent me, I was told that the stack  
already exists in memory and I choose the 'Purge' option. Now in the  
"stacks" in the standalone settings (card 2) I saw the revdatagridLib  
as a separate stack and after completing the standalone  it works all  
right now. I suspect it might have something to do, that I started  
the project in a pre 3.x version and just recently - because of the  
datagrids :-) , I downloaded the 3,5 trial version, where I am  
completing the project.
I absolutely don't like the new editor (that was the reason I stayed  
on pre 3.x), but the datagrids and multidimensional arrays are great.

Now the datagrid works in the standalone. But I do not understand why  
it would not work in the beginning. Why do I have to explicitely load  
and include the revDatagridLib as it is already 'inside' of rev 3.5?

Thanks again,

greetings,  Beat
