Hi,

I'm designing a Database program in Visual Basic 5 Pro, and I'd like
to use a form I've already created in Access97.

Is there an easy way to import/export it to use in my Visual Basic
program?

Thanks in advance,
SEAN

Alas the answer must be no. Despite appearances, the Form object in Access
is a very different animal from the Form object in VB. To pick three major
areas of incompatibility, VB doesn't support record selectors or subforms,
and binding a VB form to a data source is accomplished through a separate
control rather than being built in to the Form object.
