FormBuilder is about showing a form for a *single* record. Of course, you could us eit to format your data and then output it...as I do in the frontend I wrote. Sounds like you should be adding a driver to DataGrid to me. Perhaps you could add a FormBuilder renderer as well so that you can use FormBuilder's link displaying capabilities. > -- > og > > -- > PEAR Development Mailing List (http://pear.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > -- DB_DataObject_FormBuilder - The database at your fingertips http://pear.php.net/package/DB_DataObject_FormBuilder paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
