Removing link from the grid index number

[Brett Thim]

Is it possible to keep the index number using dbGridIndex, but not have a link on this number?

[Frank]

Brett,
The linked "index" number is only an attempt to jump from grid to form. If the record is deleted when you hit the hot linked index, the correspondign record might be different. What is your application that requires that number ?

Frank,
I only want to keep the number for reference to which record the user is viewing. For instance the user might be on records 100-120, so i want to keep the number on the left hand side. However, i do not want this number to link to a form, I have no need for the form view of an individual record at this point.

Brett,
Almost miss this message. Kind of hard to find the reply !

It is easy enought to add this feature. But is it really neccessary? Before I bring it up this concern, why is it not enough to have the same info (Record x to y of z) in the status bar ?

Frank,
It is not of high level importance to have this feature (does not effect
functionality), I do realize that the same information is in the status bar.
However, I feel that it makes more sense to the user to know explicitly
which record they are viewing and not have to hunt for this information.
Even taking this piece of information and sticking it at the top of the page
would suffice to me, is this possible as well?
Basically, I do not find that the status bar is visually appealing to a user
and making it obvious helps the functionality of the site.

I would have to agree - it would be nice to remove the default linking from a given column - that way you can explicitly call out what you want linked and what you don`t want linked. I understand there needs to be a default, but defaulting to showing a whole ton of information that I don`t want the user to see is a problem (we hide a number of things from the recordset).

I agree with Brett. I want the user to see this field. Call it a counter, call it a row num, index or whatever you want. But there should be an option for this number to be displayed without hyperlink to a form, because in some instances, the hyperlink is confusing and serves no purpose.

We have yearly subscription to AspdB. Please let us know if this has been implemented.
