Field Descriptions

Expanded Help on Grids
This option allows the user to select additional expanded help on Native VB grids within LeasePak. With this option on, multi-column drop down help and client search capabilities may be invoked within certain grids in LeasePak. This option does not support all grids within LeasePak.

Prior to LeasePak version 5.0a, native Microsoft Visual Basic grids did not feature client search capabilities nor did they display multi-column descriptions for drop-down help. Due to the complexity of existing LeasePak code, grids that support the expanded help option may impact normal LeasePak behavior and cause unexpected results.
