I need to maintain data in a flat file (probably a tab delimited .txt file)
and would like to access it with gatagrid. I would populate it during
startup and save it on exit.

Can I access a flat file with datagrid? If I can can you point me to a
simple sample.

YES! In fact, .NET has methods and classes built-in just for using CSV
as a data source, in fact. Please go here: "Importing CSV Data and
saving it in database"

Fir this one I ended up going with DataGridView accessing an XML file. This
is truly elegant for an Internet environment that does not have SQL
available.

I will keep your solution on file for the nest one.

Thank you.

No problem The suggestion I gave would work great for many
solutions, but if DataGridView has builtin methods for accessing XML,
then by all means use it

By the way, nice website. I think it is neat, but when you read this,
could you contact me via email, please?
