Data-Grid usage

[Vaughn Clement]

Hi Craig

That gives me some options to research.

If I put the card ID into a field in the list could that work in that the
ID would not repeat.
Then I could use the go to card id in a control in the list.
To show how new  I am to livecode which control are you calling a list
field?

Thank you

Vaughn Clement
