| Any idea as to when someone at MS will get back to me on this one? By the way, telling me that "someone" will look into this for me is not an acceptable answer. Especially when I know that I will never hear back from anyone. As an MSDN subscriber we are supposed to have a 72 hour response time. I don't consider a "someone will look into it" with no follow up a response. My orginal post: I've creat... |

Rather than a mapping name I would like to bind according to column position. The column names "DocPath... are the heading that actually appear in the grid.... |
