Bonjour Jim,

Your are right ; I just made a new stack with a data grid "dGrid" and  
a field "source"
created the columns manually in the inspector (col 1, col 2 etc)
In the field, the first tab delimited line includes the names for the  
columns.

Then

    set the pFirstLineContainsHeaders of grp "dGrid" to true -- or,  
yes,  put true into pFirstLineContainsHeaders as well
    put fld "source" into tData
    set the dgText ["pFirstLineContainsHeaders"] of group "Dgrid" to  
tData

does not work as expected : the columns names keep being "Col 1, Col 2  
etc"
and the first line of tData keeps being the first line of Dgrid :-((


Did not notice that before, as up to now, I did not use  
"pFirstLineContainsHeaders", I manually create the columns names and  
labels (an habit from the beginning of the dataGrid I guess!!)

Sorry, I don't know what we are missing! Sure Trevor will help  
soon ;-)))
