I agree it would be better to code it myself but I lack the skill. Do you have a suggestion for a video or tutorial that would help me get started? Thanks

Ok, so now I can get the data to show in the gridview - set the auto-regenerate columns to "True". But now I lose my data formatting. I want to be able to set 2 columns to currency and 1 to a fixed number. Can I add formatting at connection time? <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2"...
