Data Report designer and Data Control
Blake,
It has to be an ADO data control if you want to set the Data Source at run
time. Below is an excerpt from the MSDN help file:
Note Two older controls, the Data control and RemoteData control, can be
used as data sources, however you cannot set the DataSource property of
another control or object to either of these controls at run time. For
example, the following code will fail:
Set Text1.DataSource = Data1 ' Will fail! You can't set DataSource at
' run time to an intrinsic Data control.
To use either the Data control or RemoteData control as a data source, you
can set the DataSource property of bound controls at design time only.
