NooB...Database question

[Dave Williams]

First off...total noob to VB. So far have learned a lot in 1.5 days and
feel fairly comfortable at throwing screens up. However, I want to start
writing forms that revolve around an access database.

From what I have read to date it looks like VB can only display 1 record at
a time. I suspect this is not the case. How easy is it to display 10
records at a time (in a table format) that can be scrolled up and down ?
When the current record changes I'd also like to get the child info and
display that in the bottom part of the screen. So, the top part of the
screen would be a list of 10 records and the bottom part would display the
current highlighted record details.

Is this easy to do ? Can someone point me in the right direction ?

Much appreciated.

Dave.

Hi Dave,
Look into adding the Microsoft hierarchal flex grid to your form
and binding it to the Access database. You can also build a data
repeating control.
