Hi all. Here is an interesting twist on the issue of whether or not to use dgText or dgData when working with datagrids. dgText will only give you the DISPLAYED data in the datagrid as text. The dgData will give you ALL the data in the datagrid as an array, INCLUDING the columns that are NOT being displayed. Another good argument for using dgData wherever you can. 

Now what we need is an update to the filter command so that it works on arrays!
