was just wondering tools/objects people use when they have the need for entering data on a mass scale similar to spreadsheet entry?

I know there is the datagrid but I haven't found it that user-friendly when it comes to mass data entry especially moving from cell to cell. not taking thousand of lines but 100-200 each data

any insights would be greatly appreciated

thanks,
dan

Hi.

What not use a basic table field? This is essentially a formatted tab and return delimited field object, similar to a spreadsheet, that has considerable compactness and power. You can load such a thing directly with similarly formatted data, and extract whatever you need just as easily. Have you tried one of these?

And you are right, datagrids are super-objects, but require practice to use well. I do, but use table fields for everything I can.
