Data Grids - Column view help

[Ian McKnight]

Hi Trevor

Thanks for the reply.

I'll take a closer look at my column names/key names and look for
discrepancies. And thanks for the information on the sort command I'll
play around with that too.

BTW I can't sign off without commenting on the quality and extent of
the documentation you have supplied for the Data Grid - it is
fantastic. Thanks again for that and the advice here.
