I am working with Bernd (testing and making suggestions, at his request) and I 
think he is happy with the progress he is making with modTableField.

I shouldn’t really speak for Bernd but there are bug reports he has submitted 
that need addressing by the LC Team and if they could be addressed it would 
make modTableField better.

One quite big one is

Bug 14238 - backgroundpattern of a field out of sync if formattedHeight > 
roughly 32768

Richard, you are aware of this one as you have commented.

This is a big issue to using modTableField because most people would want 
alternate coloured rows and those that have a lot of data (me included) could 
not use modTableField until this is fixed.

I couldn’t incorporate modTableField in a project unless I knew it was going to 
be fixed in the not to distant future.



All the best

Terry
