What do you mean by "record" ?
Data coming from a database for instance ?
If yes, nothing special or different from regular text.
Code: Select all
put false into pFirstLineContainsHeaders
set the dgText [ pFirstLineContainsHeaders ] of group "myDataGrid" to myData

Bangkok, you may know this already but the above can be abbreviated to
Code: Select all
set the dgText of group "myDataGrid" to myData
This will work fine as long as you are using the default (false) setting for dgText.

Thanks for that, i shall see if it works
By record i mean a 2-D array with different data types.
Cheeeers.
EDIT : I think that would work but I'm having trouble putting any data into the data grid. Is there something i need to do , to get the data grid to update with the new data?
