Karen,

I've done all that I asked after being told to look at MS sites.  I did it
by copying from an MS paper.

Look at


http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/techart/griddtc
.htm

which will explain what you can do with the Grid DTC. There is also

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q229/6/72.asp?FR=0

which explains how to produce an updateable grid.

NB I had problems at first when I failed to ensure that I did EXACTLY as
described, i.e. I didn't initially put the "on_page" code in the header!
 If you still have problems, let me know, as the code above works a treat,
in my case the text boxes update the database with out using an "update"
button, any button that moves out of the page updates the database.  I am
however using the Interdev scripting object model and page object models
(both of which I still know very little about!!) which I suspect do
something of which I am not aware - but try it and see.

regards

John
