Thanks for the feedback. Your program looks interesting. My current approach is to use a text entry widget to ask the user to provide info on the records to be edited (UserCode?, Between what dates?, etc). Based on user provided parameters, I'll build and submit the SQL query and return the list of pontential candidate data records. From that list I'll have the user click on the one they wish to edit which will move it into another "editing" grid. When entries are completed there, the user will click an "save changes" button. At that point the program will build and submit the SQL update via the ODBC connection and prompt for another set of general parameters.

Given that I'm addressing an MS SQL database using Win32::ODBC in a Windows XP user environment, I'm not sure yours is the tool for the current project.

Rest assured I'll be downloading it and poaching any good ideas I discover within your code.

Thanks again for the feedback and for your willingness to share your skills.

Oh, and I appreciated your comment...

"You are better off sticking with a nesting of more standard widgets, in my experience."
...it reinforced a growing suspicion I had.
