Subject Re: [IBO] Scaleby in a form with a TIb_Grid

My apologies for my ignorance on this point.

Will you please provide more details about this?
What versions of Delphi support it, exactly what is not working on the
TIB_Grid in regard to it.

I'd like a sample app, or to have one of mine modified showing how this is
done, etc. May seem dumb that I ask but it saves me so much time. Simple,
easy to follow instructions are helpful too.

Thanks,
Jason
