Data Grid Form

Data Grid Form

The Data Grid form displays a grid that lists the data from the entry form in which you clicked the List button. The Data Grid form allows you to:

select a record to edit,
search the data,
print a listing of the data

To edit a record:

Click on a record to select it.

Then double-click on that record, or click Edit to retrieve the record in the data entry form.

To search:

Type the string to search for in the "Search:" prompt.

Then click Go. This will retrieve a list of all of the records containing the search string.

To Print:

Select columns to print by hiding columns you don't want to print. To hind a column, place the mouse over the border of the column heading (until the "resize" pointer appears), then drag the column border to the left until the column is hidden. (You can also use this method to size the columns that you do want to print.)

Then Click Print to display an image of the printed output in the report viewer form.

To Exit the form:

Click Close to close the data grid.
