Is there any way to make an editable grid with master/detail records in the grid. I can display the records using SHAPE command, but am unable to find an easy way to edit the data.

Three questions:
1) What language?
2) The _same_ grid?
3) If the answer to 2) above is "Yes", WHY?
(Or, in other words, Why not use two grids?)

Visual Basic.
Yes, have claims details:
Medical labs, Claim No, ...

Master records: Member ID, Problem, ...
Detail records: Drug code, Price, Accepted...

Can do it with seperate grids, but it would be prefered if its in one...

I used the MSHFlex grid, setting the recordsource with the shape command, but the flex grid is read only. I have read about using a text box, and moving it around, but am not sure how to implement it... Any help would be appreciated.

Regrettably, I am probably not going to be much help because I am not experienced in VB (my "eapon of choice" is Delphi ;-) ).

However, just as a curiosity, if you display the master record and all of the detail information as one grid and you can let them edit it, wouldn't that still be a bit difficult to edit. I mean, how do you plan to handle things like adding a new record in the middle of the grid?

Have you considered putting the various details on the tabs of a tabsheet type of object? You could present the Master Data as the upper portion of the form and then have the various tabsheets with data grids the presented the details of various kinds.

Just a thought from the view of how the user may have to deal with the data.

Hadn't thought of that, will give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks for the help
