Using another form's Data control

Using another form's Data control

Post by Anthony Boudouva » Tue, 04 Nov 1997 04:00:00



Hi to all,

i have a form1 that contains a data1 control, connected
to a dBase database.
Everything is working fine.
I then add a form to the project ( form2 ) and i add a dbGrid on it.
How can i use the form1.data1 from form2 so i can connect it
to form2.dbGrid ?
For example, i set the form2.dbGrid  DataSource property  to
"form1.data1" by hand, but it is not working.
( at runtime the dbGrid is empty. )
Can i use form1.data1 control or i must use another data control
in form2 and connect it to the same database ?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Sheridans Data Widgets package has a data control you can bind across forms.
I believe you can obtain a demo at www.shersoft.com.

1. Using Access 97 replication ID's with VB5 data control and other bound controls

Does anyone know if there is a problem using Access 97's replication ID as a
primary key when programming in VB5?

I have an Access 97 database that uses AutoNumber/replication ID's to hook
up to tables with Number/replication ID fields.  When using the data
control, I get data type mismatch errors.  If I try to bind a DBCombo
control, nothing shows up in the list.  I need to use a data control because
I can't link my DBGrid controls at run time.  How can I use replication ID's
and still make use of my grid controls, etc.?  Are there any programmatic
ways to make use of the replication ID fields, or do I need to change my
database?  I don't want to re-prgram my app in Access.
