Hello, data grids are the thing that I struggle with the most.
I'm trying to create basically a contacts list.
I've seen the LiveCode post about this.
The main difference is that I will be porting in the data from an SQL database.
I get how to database portion of the code works.
What I don't get is how to display the data, and if so how do I go about displaying the data for each data entry in the SQL database.

Oh, I'd just use a table field.

We know, Richmond, we know!

I use a lot of DataGrid.
It is not a complex as it seems when you understand the way they are set up.
Keep on experimenting and you will get there.

Well, if you read here, you'll see a lot of properties of datagrid: https://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/Datagrid_API
To query a database see: https://livecode.wikia.com/wiki/MySQL
The main datagrid properties for your goals are:

• dgText
• dgHeader
• dgData

If the data is very simple, without return chars or TAB, you can just use the DgText.
