DataGrid question...

[Terry Judd]

This is rough but sort of works...

on selectionChanged
   set the itemDel to tab
   put word 2 of the selectedLine into tRow
   put word 2 of the selectedChunk into nChar
   put length(line 1 to tRow-1 of me) into tStart
   put char tStart+2 to nChar of me into tText
   put the number of items in tText into tCol
   put tRow&&tCol
end selectionChanged

    Ah Bob. You misunderstand. We are asking in reference to the table field, not DG. Finding the index in data grid is very easy indeed. In a table field,  it so much as I was to understand. But apparently there is some magic I’ve missed somewhere and perhaps I’m the only one. Do you know what it is?

That makes it seem that it is general knowledge and I’m a dunce for not being aware of it (which is very possible). If you’ve got any pointers you know of that can steer me right I’d appreciate it.
