Refreshing a Datagrid

[lee123]

I know this is a free site and the moderators or anybody don't have to answer if they don't want to.. but if there is someone who knows how to answer this question please help with this one.

i have changed my project so many times to try to get the results i want but can't seem to get this one thing to work the datagrid and datalist to work right. i have looked on the web to see if i could do it another way. and read so many books but there isn't another way i have found i have searched this site but nothing but the posts i have left and certainly i won't find the answers there. Because it only has the same question posted. so i guess i will go through my question again.

I have made a program so when i pay a bill i can click on the name of the bill in the datalist. and only them bills for that name will show in the datagrid.

the way i have this set up is, i have TWO ADODC controls on the form. and one datagrid and one datalist.

the first ADODC control is for the DATALIST and the second ADODC control is for the DATAGRID.

the datagrid ADODC2 is connected to a database i have made with the "Visual Data Manager" called "BillDetail s" the connectionstrin g is connected to "BillDetail s" and the recordsource is to the table "DetailsT" which in the database i have these fields

BillID
AmountDue
AmountPaid
DueDate
DatePaid
ReferenceNumber
BillBalance

The "BillID" I have made a text field because i want to add my own ID's. I don't know if you can do this but i have.

the datalist ADODC1 is connected to a database i have made with the "Visual Data Manager" called "BillInformatio n" the connectionstrin g is connected to "BillInformatio n" and the recordsource is "SELECT * FROM DetailsT" the "ROWSOURCE" is to the ADODC1. the "LISTFIELD" is set to the "BILLNAME" the "DATASOURCE " is to ADODC1 the "DATAFIELD" is to "BILLNAME" the "BOUNDCOLUM N" is to the "BILLID" which in the database i have these fields

BillID
BillName
Address
City
State
ZipCode
PhoneNumber

The code for the DATALIST click event is this:

Private Sub Datalist1_Click()
Dim strQuery As String
strQuery = "Select * FROM DetailsT WHERE BillID = " & _
DataList1.BoundText & "'"
With Adodc2
.RecordSource = strQuery
.Refresh   '<-----------'This is where i am getting the error
                          'it's not refreshing the datagrid
End With
With DataGrid1
.ClearFields
.ReBind
End With
End Sub

So there it is i hope i can get a response for this

Hi,

You have one extra single quote in your query..

In the Table if BillID is Numeric, then give your Query statement like this :

strQuery = "Select * FROM DetailsT WHERE BillID = " & _
Val(DataList1.B oundText)

If it is Text then :

strQuery = "Select * FROM DetailsT WHERE BillID = '" & _
DataList1.Bound Text & "'"

thanks for the response it took me awhile to figure it out but i got it working i have another question for you after i have click on a name in my list and the datagrid changes to that bill there are currency values in the the details database how do i show them in currency in the datagrid after i have click on a name. because right now when the form opens every bill is showing and i have set the currency value through the properties in the datagrid and it is currency.

but when i click on a name it goes back to normal. how do i change that

i have got this working but i can't print out the datagrid in a txtfile so i would like to know how i can use the datacombo and textboxes for this instead, I mean is the code any different than the datagrid because i have 8 textboxes i would like to bind to it. so when i drop down the datacombo box it pulls the information that goes with the name..and fills the textboxes with the details

Hi,

Add Place the Textboxes on the Form, and Bind them to the ADODC,
by setting "DataSource " and "DataMember " properties of the textbox..

ok i have the textbox already on ther form i have got the one adodc control bound to the datacombo (Information),

then i have Eight textboxes on the form as well for the (details) with another adodc control if i understand what your saying is i don't need the other adodc control?

Do I use both Adodc Controls for this? or just the one for the datacombo for all?

Hi,

I Guess, you are doing a Master-Detail format, then you will need 2 ADODC's.
You can Bind a Textbox (Or any) Control to Only one ADODC.
Check which adodc has the fields you are wanting to display, and bind that.

well the thing is that i have these textboxes on the form but i want the company name from another table so when i choose a name the information will fill in the textboxes is this possible through code, through the one adodc control to get the name from the other table?
