Looking at the JobType table, it appears that the "Fullname via JobType" field is the only unique field in the table. I could be wrong, but I imagine that's why it's the only one able to be selected.

Hi Jason,  I hope you were able to get your grid to behave better. I looked a little further into your issue and unfortunately found that the solution I described in my last post is the only one.
