Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

   Select Case Index

            Case 0

                EntryOption = 0

            Case 1

                EntryOption = 1

        End Select
 
   If EntryOption = 0 Then

            ds = CurDb.OpenRecordset("PlinthBeamData", DAO.RecordsetTypeEnum.dbOpenDynaset)

        Else

            If EntryOption = 1 Then

                ds = CurDb.OpenRecordset("FloorBeamData", DAO.RecordsetTypeEnum.dbOpenDynaset)

            End If

Well, you could drop the msflexgrid, and use one of the actual .NET components, that would make life a lot easier.

What exactly are you trying to make an array of? I saw no array code in the source code you posted. Just a poorly constructed CASE/IF statement.

Its very easy to make arrays in .NET:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Dim mycontrolarray As somecontrolType() = New somecontrolType(9) {}

None of those controls are instanciated yet, so you would have to say like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

mycontrolarray(0) = New somecontrolType()

As for why they dropped it, I'm still wondering why they continued VB at all :-P

You can't just get rid of something once it's been used for vast amounts of applications (even though I find myself wonder why VB was designed they way it was...)

Anyways, are you attempting to make an array based on the data retrieved from the record set?

I'm also confused as to how arrays fit into your question.

Sure you can, its known as "progress". I'm wiping stuff out of my applications that I have had in for like 2years now, because I don't like it. Time for the axe.

Why not use this?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
If Index =0 Then

   ds = CurDb.OpenRecordset("PlinthBeamData", DAO.RecordsetTypeEnum.dbOpenDynaset) 

ElseIf Index= 1 Then 

   ds = CurDb.OpenRecordset("FloorBeamData", DAO.RecordsetTypeEnum.dbOpenDynaset) 

End If

Well....Thank u for replying........I can't drop msflex grid as i had used it in my whole project...n ...i don't understand when you say why are they continuing with Vb As far as i think VB is like Trynasouras Rex in the field of Languages.....I have two Radio buttons..i want when i click 1st option the data in the datagrid fits in the plinth beam table n when 2nd option is clicked data fits in Floorbeam table.....n code for both radio buttons is...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
 Dim ds As DAO.Recordset
 
    Select Case Index

            Case 0

                EntryOption = 0

            Case 1

                EntryOption = 1

        End Select

        Data_Gr.Refresh()

        Data_Gr.Row = 1

        For i = 0 To 4

            Data_Gr.Col = i

            Data_Gr.Text = ""

        Next

        Data_Gr.Rows = 2

        DataToGrid()

        If EntryOption = 0 Then

            ds = CurDb.OpenRecordset("PlinthBeamData", DAO.RecordsetTypeEnum.dbOpenDynaset)

        Else

            If EntryOption = 1 Then

                ds = CurDb.OpenRecordset("FloorBeamData", DAO.RecordsetTypeEnum.dbOpenDynaset)

            End If

        End If

Ok, so when radiobutton1 is selected, do task1 and when radiobutton2 is selected do task2.
I'm not sure I still see any problem?

And yes, it is like the TRex, clumsy, partially-blind and short armed. But thats a personal opinion, hehe.

Actually Data is going only in Plinth Table whether i select Ist option or 2nd option...this is my problem..n now it seems that i m going to pull my hair.....my codes are right but what is the prob i don't know.......

n also this short armed VB is vry dangerous....he he

Unless radiobuttons are grouped together, they will each register a different value.
Are you sure that "Index" is ever changing in this code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
Select Case Index 

            Case 0 

                EntryOption = 0 

            Case 1 

                EntryOption = 1 

        End Select

Have you set a breakpoint and stepped though your code?
