Iwould like to know how to get rid of the header that spans the columnheads -- the big horizontal thing. Failing that, I would like to use itto display the title of my data.As I am using data from XML not an ODBC swource, I am using an array ofobjects as a data source. Is this type of data source an issue here?thanks in advance, Dave
