John,

Thank you so much for adding the “Copy Column Names” functionality to the grids! I LOVE this new feature and see myself using it all the time.

For those who have no clue what I’m talking about, I submitted a IdeaPond suggestion to allow for copying the visible column names from a grid to the clipboard for use in a select statement. John added this to the column selector right-click menu of the grid.

Blessings,

Phyllis

You’re welcome, Phyllis. Yeah this seems like an easy way to turn a “select \*” into "select ".
