Charles,
Perhaps this is not the best way to do it but it works. In this example there is an existing table style DataGrid with 4 columns named First, Last DOB & Age.
<code>
--Get existing number of lines
put the dgNumberOfLines of group "DataGrid 1" into theLineNo
put theLineNo + 1 into theLineNo
--Create empty array to act as new record
put "" into theNewRecord[theLineNo]["First"]
put "" into theNewRecord[theLineNo]["Last"]
put "" into theNewRecord[theLineNo]["DOB"]
put "" into theNewRecord[theLineNo]["Age"]
--load existing DataGrid into array
put the dgdata of group "DataGrid 1" into theDataGridData
--Merge the 2 arrays
union theNewRecord with theDataGridData
--Load the merged data into the datagrid
set the dgdata of group "DataGrid 1" to theNewRecord
--Get the current sort order
--This will allow us to discover if the new record will appear in the first or last row
put the dgProp["sort by column"] of group "DataGrid 1" into curSortedColumn
put the dgColumnSortDirection[curSortedColumn] of group "DataGrid 1" into curSortOrder
if curSortOrder = "ascending" then
put 1 into theLineNo
end if
--Select the first cell for editing
put "First" into theColumn
send "EditCell theColumn, theLineNo" to group "dataGrid 1"
</code>
This hasn't been tested much and then only in a table style grid on OS X 10.5, so if anybody can suggest how to improve this code or more efficientway to do this then I'd be grateful to hear from you.

Using the RevList and Rev tutorials I have gone through examples of a DataGrid being used to display information from a file. I have not seen any examples of where the user enters the information in an app to get it displayed in a DataGrid. If anyone has any simple examples of using DataGrid in this manner, I would really appreciate it you would share it with me.
