No, that all sounds fine. But you are about to suffer frustration and disappointment :) Data grids are VERY slow to populate with text under iOS. For example, I have less than 50 lines of text to put into a data grid and it takes 3-4 seconds. Useless :) Cheers Gerry -- photos: http://gerryork

I think because if the keyword "in" was "in" the livecode dictionary stack it would have created and endless loop and locked up the program. The only reason this email didn't lock up is because I supressed messages before I typed it. Bob On Apr 20, 2011, at 7:49 AM, paolo mazza wrote: > Look
