I believe you are using a datagrid to display the data. If you don't need to modify the data in the grid and will use a modal form, I strongly suggest you use a ListView, this control have been greatly enhanced to support this type of presentation to the end user and it is pretty easy to setup, the StrataFlix Movie form (I believe that is the name) make use of this so you can examine and start using right away.
When I first started with SF and coming from VFP I tried to use a datagrid, but if the data in the grid/listview will be readonly, then nothing beats the listview enhancements in version 1.6.6.
The reason that I want to do this is necause I am using a context menu to allow them to add, edit and delete item (it calls up a modal dialog). It is a little confusing to them if they right click, select edit or delete, and the information from a different row shows up in the modal dialog.
TIA
