Datagrid stopper out of the gate

[Jim Ault]

I found MY scripting problem.
The header was written as follows:

put "Post, Race, Track, City, State" into hdr
replace comma with tab in hdr
-- thus col 2-5 had a leading space which was invisible, just as the  
tab char is.


Correct data casting is
put "Post,Race,Track,City,State" into hdr
replace comma with tab in hdr

Discovery
Column naming is white space sensitive.

Thanks for the quick reply.
