Hi Andrew,

If I understand well you try to set the content of a datagrid to a
value, and this datagrid is not in a card you load by going in it?
A datagrid is loaded only if you go physically in its card. It's
because the datagrid object is fully initialize when it can execute
its preopencontrol event.

The trick here is to go to the card "LocalData" at startup to preload
the datagrid "AddTickets" then you can set it to empty or to the value
you need.

Example:

on preOpenStack
go to cd "LocalData" -- load the datagrid in this card
go to first cd
set the dgData of grp "AddTickets" to empty
end preOpenStack

Regards,
