Best data import approach

[Magicgate Software - Skip Kimpel]

So I found the column that was being "forced" into sorting.  I deleted that
column and re-created it and voila!   Pulling my hair out for something
like this drives me crazy!

One last thing, is there a way to have it scroll all the way down to the
bottom of the data contained within the DataGrid instead of starting at the
top?

Thanks for your help!
