Can anyone recommend a more powerful replacement for TStringGrid?  I'm
looking for features such as:

1.  Ability to include checkboxes, push buttons, editable cells
2.  Ability to set font and color by cell

Also, we are looking for a BDE replacement that compiles into an .exe.  We
are using C++ Builder Client-Server 3, and will probably upgrade to version
4.

Thank You,

I like the grid in TurboPower's Orpheus tool set.  TurboPower also offers
FlashFiler, a BDE replacement.  I haven't used it, but I think it will link
into your exe.  They are at www.turbopower.com.

Have you tried TAdvStringGrid?

It is good and the HelpLine support is excellent.

Hello Allan Miller
What you might be looking for is ODBCExpress (OE)!
ODBCExpress compiles completely into your executable, which means no
distribution of an external database engine is necessary. You will need to
distribute the ODBC driver or drivers used by your application, and of course
you need ODBC installed on the client's machine, however this is normally
distributed with the operating system, and is also freely available for
download from various web locations.

 TExtendedGrid in OE, extends the TStringGrid.  It allows you to set different
properties for each column of the Grid.  For example, you can format the text
of a column heading and the column contents, you can specify the editability of

each column, and you can fill a column with controls such as CheckBoxes,
ComboBoxes and even pictures.

I hope this will be helpful.
regards,
