Data Grids Stop Working

[Bob Sneidar]

It would be interesting to know what vTheList contained at the time of the error. Also, (and I know it sounds too simple) but are you sure the name of the data grid has not changed? 

Now the line you show below would be one you would execute outside the datagrid itself. If this is something inside the datagrid, you should use the form "of me" (assuming it's in the datagrid behavior script). Not saying that is the problem, but I would start looking at the simple things.
