Can anyone tell me how to load data from a proisam file into an active x grid control supplied with PROIV. We are experimenting with changing some of our paging screens to grids. We use 5.5, but we don't have any of the demo functions that use the controls.

Thanks in advance.

DON'T DO IT. Upgrade to 6.2 instead. The new paging model (active paging) within 6.2 has many new features which make the need for ActiveX grid controls redundant (in my opinion). More importantly, ActiveX controls will not work in the new open client (also new to 6.2), as they are client side and therefore go against the security model of most browsers. They are also Microsoft platform specific. Have a read of the news article http://www.proiv.com...rticle_084.html for more info.

Where data only needs to be displayed and not edited we have switched most of our single line paging screens to listboxes. It takes about 10 minutes to convert one.

Just as an FYI the proiv demo's can be found in the distribution file pr4demo.out

Thanks for the quick response Darren, 6.2 sounds great. Do you know if it's currently available, or when it will be?
