Here's an interesting question....

A couple points first.

A) We have an Excel file that we'll use as the database.

B) I'm looking to make a TABLE... similar to a table that you'd make in PowerPoint. Set it up with let's say 6 columns and 8 rows. This now creates 'cells'.

Questions are:

1) Can XP make a TABLE like this where text can be typed in each cell? Without manually making a series of 48 text boxes stacked and lined up next to each other.

2) Can I then assign the data from the corresponding Excel file to each of these cells? Without doing them one at a time to a text box.

Any help or knowledge in this would be great.

Thanks.

There is no way of building a table in XPression that is equivalent to how it would be done in a Microsoft Office product.

As Dan mentioned in the other thread, you'll have to use Visual Logic to position the objects that make up your table rows/columns based on whatever attributes you need (# of text objects, size of text objects, etc...)

You will have to create a text object for any cell you want to display text from. You can duplicate your text objects and then use the increment rows to expedite this.
