Thanks SGaist,
I'm too new to this to fully understand what you've said. I'm not sure how to set a dynamic property but I have seen references to sender methods - I'll have to do some further reading for that. Also not sure where I'd put the lambda you suggest or how to use QSignalMapper (more reading I guess!).
However, I found that by defining the "delBtn" inside the row it belongs to, instead of creating it outside and then adding it, the deleteRow (now renamed to zapRow) slot function operates on its own row.
