Datagrid Help

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Jim,
It's pretty complicated to explain on the list but you can certainly do
that. Take a look at the Datagrid Manual section titled "How Do I Open A
Table Cell For Editing".  It tells how how to grab the data after the user
has finished editing a cell and do whatever you need to do with it.
