Thanks Paul and David,
I know what you mean, David. I thought that fer-sure some expert would
wrap the widget table up in a friendly object. (Eh-hem) I, too, avoid
them when I can. But I seem to be working with vectors of structures
as a handy way to organize flat databases.
On the Winders machine, are you sure you have edited (changed) the cell
value before hitting TABs? It isn't enough to simply select the cell
(at least not on my platform).
If it is true that you can change the value of the cell then hit TAB
without generating an end-of-line event then I might have a wee problem.
Thanks,
Ben
