Hi Gerry, There may be a more official way to do this but here's one possibility.
In your code that shows the group, store the group name for that row off somewhere, possibly a cprop of the datagrid group. In the same code get the cprop contents and hide it. The component controls of a datagrid consist of the control name followed by a space and a 4 digit number representing the visbile line number on the screen. For example if your dg has 10 visible lines, your group control on line 1 would be named "extraButtons 0001" and on the 10th line "extraButtons 0002". In tables, the dgcolumn gets you that name I believe, but I'm not sure how that works in forms.
