I created a group that just displays some very basic information about an item I'm editing over 12 cards. I put this header into a group.

Hi: I'm fairly new to LiveCode programming. I just started a project that just calls out for a Data Grid, and I have a big problem. I'm using the Data Grid as a shared background item, and it will be shared on *all* pages of the stack. The data is shared, but it doesn't show up on the other cards (o...
