Datagrid Form

Hi Phil,
I commented out the LayoutControl code but still no joy.  Wonder why it
works for you.  Would you mind sending me your version of the stack
offline?

I think the problems start before LayoutControl since even when I step thru
the code with debugger, none of the data values turn up in the dg fields.

The only thing left is perhaps an issue with how I set up the row
template.  Its structure looks like this:

group "Row Template"
   graphic "Background"
   field "Company Name"
   field "Address"
   button "Customer"


Looks different than the template for a dg table but I think that's
expected.  I also checked it against the row template for the Datagrid
Sampler stack that's in one of the online lessons for datagrids and it
looks exactly the same except for the fact the the group is named "Record
Template" not "Row Template" but I doubt that makes any difference.

One thing I did notice is that the default template had a field named
"Label" which was referenced in a couple of places in the behavior script.
I removed it and commented out all references to it in the script since it
didn't seem to serve any purpose.  In fact, I'm not sure why a template
behavior script would include a reference to any field, especially by name.
