Gary,
In Form1_Load you are creating local variables such as da, ds, etc.
Instead, you need to use the "global" or form level variables that you have
creted in the form's declarations section.
In Form1_Load, you just need to do something like:
ds = New DataSet
instead of dimensioning the variable again.

Gary,
There is a lot still not right, however let us first take this problem.
Your error message is strange for me, that I don't directly see.
However you needs an update command in the dataadapter.
That is easy to do for a simple select statement as you have.
See the code I have pasted inline (one row)
And try than again. I now don't understand the error you get, however that
is at least needed.
When you have it running have than a look at
Databinding
\\\
cma = DirectCast(BindingContext(dataset1.Tables(0)), CurrencyManager)
textbox1.DataBindings.Add(New Binding("Text", dataset1.Tables(0),
"LastName"))
///
The cma.position gives you than the row that is used and you can affect that
by using buttons on your form.
I hope this helps,

This is OK, but how can I do an update from another subroutine when the
connection and dataadapter are not global? I want to click on a button to
do the update.
