Hi, maybe we can learn something of it? The dataGrid should come with a BIG, FAT RED ALERT : "This is a very sophisticated piece of software and should be left alone, for a while, by all newcomers - for their own mental sanity!"

For a datagrid of type TABLE you simple write and read -> the dgtext of grp "your datagrid here"

I have never seen v6 lc. . I have lc v8 . and its not detailed at all .

my changes are remembered .

however when i send to a android device . if i make data changes in the grid the changes revert at each launch .

i am 100% newbie so please be easy .
