OK this is what I did to get what I wanted.

First the reason for a the need to get Dabo to bypass the save().

I have several grids based on a view. Can't update, insert or delete using a

view or you get an error.

On two of my grids I wanted to have the word "None" appear when the grid had

no data available. I decided I could issue a self.new() in the case when

self.rowcount==0 (no data available and issue a new() in the requery() ) and

set the defaultvalues to either a blank or the word "None". This worked well.

But of course Dabo saw it as a change and when the form issued a save().

In the beforenew() I issued a self.clearall(). This cleared the data

assoicated with the grids.

So now I instead of a empty grid I have the word "None" in at least one of the

columns the others are blank. I think it looks better than an empty grid.
