vb.net form that behaves like Access?

pw
Does anyone know of a sample/template etc. of a winform coded in vb.net
that behaves ~ like an Access bound form (in Form View). I'm finding
that this is (disappointingly) difficult to do.

Thanks,

Paul.

If your using VB2005 there is a new control/component called DataNavigator
and it looks like the control to me between records in Access forms. I
found this the other day in a free ebook from M$ called Intro to VB2005.
You should be able to find this book. See chapter 4.

Thanks. I'm familiar with the BindingNavigator. But this only does a
small part of the required behavior (for example, there's no
field-level, or record-level 'undo', no sorting/filtering, etc.).

I know that, superficially, it seems like an easy project, but the more
you look into it, the more involved it gets [as an example, I've got an
'undo' working, but this doesn't work after an attempt to save the
record].

Anyone know of any samples/templates?

Paul.
