Deleting rows in dat grid forms

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Gerry,
You're passing in the dgIndex of the row, not the line number.  The dgIndex
is assigned when data is loaded into the datagrid and never changes which I
think explains your problem.

You can either use deleteIndexes or pass in the dgHilitedLine of the
datagrid and continue to to use deleteLine.

Hope that helps,

Pete
