I just got VB6 and for the past 3 days i have been trying to get paradox
tables to work( getting nothing but error after error). So i made some
access tables and attempted to make a master/detail form. I cannot edit the
records in the detail table. why is this?

the example tells me to make a master/detail form using the data environment
command objects and to make the child object query and not a table. it does
not explain how to do it, it just tells you to do it. Am i missing
something? does everything have to be coded?

not that i mind coding, but rad should be rad...

could someone give me an example that makes more sense than the help system?
or point me in the right direction.

I want to create a master table with a date field and link it by date to the
detail table so that when i enter records into the detail table the date of
the master table will be entered into the date field of the detail table so
as i scroll through the dates, only detail records for that date will be
displayed without querying every time.

it's easy to do in Delphi...

Thanx
