While it can definitely be fun to roll your own, I would also investigate Craig Boyd's gridextras class. It's got a ton of useful features baked in such as column sorting, export, filtering, quick reporting and so on. You basically add an instance to your form, set a few properties and call its setup method when the form instantiates.

Gene,
back in April last year you were asking if anyone could write code to your specification regarding the grid problems you were having. I don't recall ever seeing your specification, maybe if you posted it someone might be able to do the code for you. I for one do a lot of data entry grids using Visual MaxFrame Professional which makes use of Business Objects for field and row validation.
Frank.

Gene,
I am sure you have tried all of the following, but thought I might check regarding the record validation thing.
Are you using data from a table that is part of a database? If so, do you have both field and row level validations specified in the dbc?
Are you using buffering and CursorGetProp() and related functions/methods to check for field/row level changes?
If yes to all above, just ignore this message...... If no to any of the above, that might be part of the problems you are having with the validations.
