Dbgrid control in Access

[mani karak]

hi,
I would like to know if I can put a grid control in access form like the
grid control
which Visual basic data form wizard provides.
Thank you

Access has its' own built in data-bound grid control -- it is called a
datasheet view for a form. And it is better than the VB equivalent.

Yes, but you can't put a VB "Data Control" in the form, so you can't bind it
to your database. You'll have to populate and manipualate it from code.
Whether it's worth the trouble depends on why you want it... Access has
"continous forms" mode and "datasheet view" that are usually sufficient for
what I want to do along those lines.

I've had good success with the GridWiz control from www.mcraesoft.com.

(This is meant for some of the other posters in this thread.) One of
the reasons for using it was I wanted to have a different combo box
row source in each row. I wanted the user to have some custom fields
where each row was something totally different. For example one row
would be hat sizes while another row was shirt size. Each with a
totally different combo box. This isn't possible using Access
continuous forms.

To answer the mans question. Yes, it is called DBGrid.
1. Goto ==> PROJECT|COMPONENTS or CTRL + T
2. Pull down the slid bar near the bottom and select the component called
Microsoft Data Bound Grid Control..

In understanding how it works pop in a data control. Set your DataSource and
RecordSource properties. Reference the Data1 or whatever control in the
DataSource of your grid and fire it up..

This is by memory so don't sue me if I forgot anything... heheh
