Hi Pete, Well this changes everything! Literally! So, if I wish to re-order the columns, this will fit the bill quite nicely. Thank you for clarifying what this param actually does, Pete.
Back to what I was trying to do... If I need the first line of the imported text file to define the header names of each column, I will need to script that manually for each column, right? I don't see any references to data grid properties like dgText in the LC dictionary. There are a few lessons on the RunRev site, but I don't see an example of how to do this with a built-in function. It's roll your own time, I guess. ~Roger On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 1:09 PM, Peter Haworth <p...@lcsql.com> wrote: > Hi Roger, > That parameter doesn't change the column names, it just defines the order > of the column data within each line of dgText.
