Good day to all. I am still new with CCS4 and am still amazed at this bad boy. I'll try to save my questions up so that we can address them as a unit, rather than post a lot of messages. So here goes (and please be gentle... 
1) Is there a way to configure "Display Properties" for a column in the GUI? For example, an email address being displayed as an email link, columns being set to a fixed width etc?
2) I have a Grid that I've created and have the style I want and the layout. I also put a link in a new column that would allow a user to manage his/her profile. If a profile exist, I want it to say "Edit", if non exist to sa "Add" but of course it has to edit/add the right account, When clicking on the link, it works for the First Record in the grid, but the rest don't do anything. So what have I done wrong here (see notes below),
3) I have a script that convets the input data into Proper Case (it accounts for things like MiIninnis etc) and i"ve used this in another rad app. I've included the file into a Common folder and "Included it" accordingly. It doesn't seem to get called as the data is not corrected. The referrence I am using is ColumnName = uCase(columnName - the actual syntax I use is in the event for the columns) and I've placed this in "Before Update/Inesrt events. I've placed a "respsonse.write and response.flush" in my function and it never executes.
Notes:
1) I think I've been quite diligent and detailed at following the tuts and docs, so if I've missed a page or detail that addresses the above, please feel free to pounce on me like a starving cat on a mouse :)
2) For Item 2 above, I ran the builder to let it create a grid and bascially copied the url from the address bar for Edit and Add (thinking of trying to minimize errors and since it builds the form and code, I figured this should work) - oops,
3) Item 3 above is not critical at this time, it's just something that I want to incorporate soon, but perhaps more learning is in order - YEAH...,
4) I can't seem to change properties in the GUI for a column (format etc), am I doing something wrong here?
One more tidbit, I ran into an issue with HSMST timeouts that the developers are looking into, maybe this may have something to do with Item 1 and 4.
Finally, i hope this isn't too much to put into one post, and if it should be in multiples, please adivse and I will certainly do so in the future.
Thanks to all.
Edit already, when using Group Level access to limit Update etc on a tbale, I keep getting "Invalid Group" errors. I've removed the permissions for now. What did I do wrong here?

Hello Rocket,
1) Yes .... remember you can always drop to HTML or Custom Code your CSS.
2) You may have to create an Attribute ....
3) Do you want the format to occur @ the client side or @ the server side?
and by Script, are you talking about JavaScript or SQL?

Thanks for the reply Jan, so here are my answers (i'll try to be a little more detailed next time),
1) Still new so dropping into HTML mode, I'm a little worried about messing things up - no guts, no glory I guess,
2) I've seen the "Attirbute" thing somewhere, but can't recall where. I'll find it again tho, but am not sure what you mean by create one,
3) Client Side - javascript.
While I'm here, I finally took the plunge and bought this fella (I figured 10 days and I gotta do this thing), anyway, I donwloaded Example Pack2 from the client area and thougth I'd just intall into into the existing CCS dir and voila. Not so, and I noticed that it is all 3.2 and will convert it. So how does one install it so we have access via the help file or the Project Open dialog box and finally, would the examples in there be applicable to V4.3?
Sorry for all the questions, but I want to cover as much ground as possible so as not to fill the forum up with a bunch of questions and rantings.
Cheers and thanks.
Rocket man...

1) just don't mess with {xxx} curly thingies and CCS dynamic form areas that look like html comments <!-- BEGIN whatever -->
2) go to Help menu -> type Attributes
3) Common.php is for php scrips only, so javascript should go to .js includes
yes, most of the examples are old....
so, do not be afraid to fill this forum up with your questions
*Please, start asking your each question in the subject line keeping in mind that it may help others later to find answers to the same problems that you have now.
It would be very confusing if all posts' headers would look like this:
-Please help!!!
-Newbie here -help!
-Got a problem!
:)
