name resolution stinker

[Bob Sneidar]

Thanks Mark. I came to the same conclusion. For my purposes the first method is the best. I start with the short name of a datagrid, then tried to build the long name knowing the long id of the owning card. Instead it's easier to say:

there is a group <shortname> of <long id of card>
