Thanks for the help.
I was running the program on My Computer for testing and the problems I
mentioned (big blue caption bar, readonly-ness) were gone when I actually
moved the code onto the PPC.
I fixed the formatting by just making another column that has the correctly
formatted time string time but still sorting by the actual DateTime column.
This does leave me with one minor problem:
When I do want the application to actually run on My Computer I need a good
way to keep the same codebase for both CE and regular computers but fix the
'big blue' and readonly problem. Any suggestions on how to manage CE project
libraries that need to be used on regular desktops with the full framework?
thanks,
