Hi there, I built an ‘application from database’ using the wizard, and it’s pretty much perfect for how i want it.

I’ve been changing a few things and playing with it to be almost exactly how I need it to function for me. Couple questions I could use help with though!

How Can I change the sorting of a field when the datagrid first loads? I cannot find anything for it in the .as file generated… Only the functions for when a column is clicked.?

Also, I have doubleclicked enable = true, and it opens a php file. Got this working perfectly, but is it possible to make fields selectable? So that I can copy paste values from the datagrid?

And finally, is it easy to only display 100 results? But also be able to view the ‘older’ results?

thanks a lot for any help!
