Copying and pasting a data grid form?

[Keith (Gulf Breeze Ortho Lab)]

Thanks Pete.  I did something very similar to that (although I didn't use 
the message box to make a copy--how would I do that by the way?) I ended up 
copying the group from the first data grid's row template over to the second 
data grid... After playing around with it, I then did modified the 
dgProps["Row Template]" of the new data grid and that did the trick...

Cheers,

Here's one way to do this,there may be others.

Both datagrids will have the dgProps["row template"] property  set to the
same group and card of the Datagrid Templates stack.  Locate that card and
use the message box to make a copy of it in the Datagrid Templates stack.
Make a note of the Row Template group ID and card id of the new card, then
change the dgProps["Row Template"] property of the second datagrid to refer
to the new group/card.  At that point, you can modify the second datagrid's
template as you wish without affecting the first datagrid.

Hope that helps,

Pete
