Can You Update a Crosstab Datawindow

I have a crosstab datawindow where the intersection grid is a data value
that should be  updatable.  In the datawindow painter for a crosstab ,
however, the 'Update Properties..'
dropdown is disabled. How can I update the crosstab value?

HI,
For me No,

(In the datawindow painter the menu update properties  is grayed.)


regards
Fred

You can't.

We have achieved a similar effect by using a dynamically created external
datawindow, populated from two datastores.  ItemChanged events keep the
datastores in line.  We then update the two datastores.  I can give you more
info if you want.

If you go to http://groups.google.com and do a search for "powerbuilder edit
crosstab" you'll get a bunch of info on different methods of achieving this.

This link shows you how to make a crosstab dw editable just for printing
purposes.
http://www.justpbinfo.com/pbtips/editablextabs.asp

If you want to know how to update the database with your changes then that's
a little more involved and you'll need to search the newsgroups as I
mentioned above.  You might also want to add "Dawn_Brown_Eyes" to the search
string as she has a pretty good method of doing this if I remember
correctly.
