Thanks. But thats not practical and causes more work that just using the ID as is. I need to display my primary key as a column but it can’t be editable. If I were to create a hidden column it would be a dupe of the primary key column and I’d have to add an additional cell in code for it, which makes no sense.

It would be better to be able to override the ID key used by jqGrid, IMHO.

In the navigator setup when the delete button is clicked only the selected row id is passed to edit url. This id has no correlation to the actual record in the database. How do I get the delete option to post the userid (the primary key) instead of the row id?

Cheers,

Dave
