Hehe,=20

Just an update, having the columnHeading stuff in the resource file look=20
like this -=20
columnHeadings':[
[ 'Job number',-1,2],
[ 'Inquiry date', -1,2],
[ 'Job date', -1,2],
[ 'Job time', -1,2],
[ 'Fixed?', -1,2],
[ 'Job type', -1,2],
[ 'Job subtype'-1,2],
],=20

which I thought would work gives this error -=20

Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'


but, the following do work -=20

leftAligned =3D self.components.jobs.GetColumnHeadingInfo()
centreAligned =3D []
for item in leftAligned:
k =3D [item[0],item[1], 2]
centreAligned.append(k)
self.components.jobs.columnHeadings =3D centreAligned


or
foo =3D self.components.jobs
foo.columnHeadings =3D [[item[0], item[1], 2] for item in=20
foo.GetColumnHeadingInfo()]

Hmm....

Or am I doing the resource file part wrong?
