Naming a display grid?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Melissa Marrs wondered: <<I am curious to know how some of you name  
or title your display grids?>>

First, I'd want to know what you mean by "display grid". I can think  
of several possiblities. From what you say:

<<For example, we have a display grid that lists department codes and  
descriptions that have been created in the system.  In the past,  
we've called the display grid "Department Code display grid" but now  
I am trying to think of something more generic I suppose?>>

This description suggests that you mean a "table", which is the  
ubiquitous word for this kind of presentation of information. If  
that's correct, then "display grid" is the $100 phrase for a $1  
concept, and most of your audience (people like me, with a beer  
budget rather than a champagne budget) won't have the faintest idea  
what you mean.
