Agree with most of that... BUT properties are not persistent in standalones if they are in the mainstack or any substack of the standalone. If you need property persistence in a standalone, you must use "splash screen" approach, or something similar. Pete Molly'

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your original question about why the event gets sent to any control on your card. That almost sounds like the handler is at the card level or perhaps in a group that includes the datagrid AND the other controls. Pete Molly's Revenge <http://w
