Hi Gerry,

You are passing an index to the deleteline command.

In datagrids, indexes and lines are different things:

Try:
on deleteRecord whichRow
    dispatch "deleteIndex" to group "datagrid" with whichRow
end deleteRecord

For example, if the delete button in row 4 is touched, the fourth row in the data grid is deleted which moves the 5th row into the 4th row position. But I then touch the delete button in the (new) 4th row, the dgIndex passed to my delete script isn't 4...it's 5.
