Datagrid stopper out of the gate

[Jim Ault]

True, but as I was just following the online tutorial, and copy-paste  
code did not work.
In fact, once Rev crashed.
I now know the error was in my string trick to create the header, not  
Rev 3.5

You are correct in the best practice department.
My client app will have error checking before the data ever hits the  
datagrid and I will use fixed headers and grid dimensions.
