Can dashes in grid names cause problems?

Is it ok to use dashed grid names (eg All-Links) or should I convert them to Camel Case (AllLinks).

Pierre made a post a number of years ago advising against spaces in grid names because it could cause problems like losing field assignments (which is what I'm currently experiencing).

Can dashes cause problems like spaces or is this a non-issue?

I'm using the dashes because I find the grid tabs easier to read that way.

How to keep "scratch pad" and "search results" grids column (etc.) settings

Hello Pierre, everybody,

Is there a way to have scratch/search grids columns setup stick ? I have to reconfigure them constantly as they revert to some default each time they're reopened.

This is a newish behaviour it seems -- not sure when it started.

Thanks a lot!

Lost items recovery

Had another incident of multiple items suddenly disappearing from a grid while I was in the process of reorganizing.

I'm not worried about getting them back because I have backups.  But first I tried to recover them from within the file and ran into something I can't understand.

I found one of the items using Live Search.  It gave the grid assignment for the item, but when I go to that grid and apply a column filter, it's not found.

I'm trying to understand why it doesn't show up in its assigned grid.

Beginner Tutorial to Replicate Ecco Look & Feel

Hello all.

I have been using Ecco Pro since 1995. I love it, but am growing increasingly concerned with its data limitations and orphan status, and I have had a few scares with data corruption over the years.

For those reasons, I would like to transition to InfoQube, a modern program that was inspired by Ecco.
