That is really weird then, because that would mean I can never drop data onto an empty datagrid and get the row and column I dropped data on to.

Hi Bob,

You're right, a datagrid is built on the fly (especially when is cache
control property is set to false), so when there is no data, there is
no field in the datagrid.

You could add a test like this one for adding data when a datagrid is empty:

if (the dgDataControl of the target is empty) then
   add an empty line
   copy the data
end if

And have a look to the experiment 19, if you missed it:
