Don Hube #1 / 7	I have tried and tried.... and tried Concerning MSDN's "step by step" on how to create a form with parent/child heirarchy, I have tried and tried, but it doesn't seem to work. Could someone please follow it and see if you also cannot get it to work, (or maybe I've lost a few brain cells)... It's called "Create a Master/Detail Form" and it can be found at MSDN Help files under: VBDocumentation/UsingVB/Data Access Guide/Interacting with data in MS Jet HOPEFULLY, PLEASE CONFIRM THAT IT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU. I'D HATE TO ADMIT I'M LOSING IT !

Robert Smit #2 / 7	I have tried and tried.... and tried What are you trying to do .. perhaps the answer can be made easier by explaining your issue directly. Or is there something very specific in ther example that you need beyond just creating 2 data linked forms? Do you just want to make a master/detail database search form, like an extended QBF? If that is your question (maybe, maybe not) maybe this will help: http://www.smithvoice.com/qbf.htm Robert Smith Kirkland WA Quote: >Concerning MSDN's "step by step" on how to create a form with >parent/child heirarchy, I have tried and tried, but >it doesn't seem to work. >Could someone please follow it and see if you also cannot get >it to work, (or maybe I've lost a few brain cells)... >It's called "Create a Master/Detail Form" and it can be found >at MSDN Help files under: >VBDocumentation/UsingVB/Data Access Guide/Interacting with data in MS Jet >HOPEFULLY, PLEASE CONFIRM THAT IT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU. >I'D HATE TO ADMIT I'M LOSING IT !

Actually I am not trying to do anything. I was just following the step by step presentation in the MSDN help file. I am learning VB's data bound stuff, and I just started going down the list under the "Interacting with data..." subtopic. I tried the "creating a connection... creating a data environment, creating a databound form, creating a data grid", and they all work fine. However, on the next step, when I tried "creating the master/detail I simply cannot get the darn thing to work. So I really don't have a "project" in mind, ... just following instructions

Don Hube #5 / 7	I have tried and tried.... and tried Concerning MSDN's "step by step" on how to create a form with parent/child heirarchy, I have tried and tried, but it doesn't seem to work. I've posted this before and got two responses that say that is DOES work. Well, sorry. I have THOROUGHLY gone thru this time after time after time, again, and again, in VERY minute detail being EXTREMELY careful. ... and I still can't get it to work. YOU PEOPLE WHO SAY IT WORKS MUST (I SAY MUST!) BE DOING SOMETHING ELSE THE IS NOT WRITTEN IN THE TEXT. The text is found in MSDN help file at: VB Documentation/Using VB/Data Access Guide/ Interacting w data/ Create Master-Detail Form I get up to the point where the text says "Finally, define the relationship between the parent and child..." but when I do what it says, I get NO list of child fields and NO list of parent fields. They are both blank. And I get an error message "At least one relation definition must be defined." How do I solve this ?

Graham Crawfor #7 / 7	I have tried and tried.... and tried Don, open your VB help, click on the 'search' tab and enter "datareport1" Down about 5 lines, select 'Creating a simple data report' Then click on the 'display' tab This is a better example of a data report, less verbiage and it works if you follow the instructions argusy Quote: > Concerning MSDN's "step by step" on how to create a form with > parent/child heirarchy, I have tried and tried, but > it doesn't seem to work. > Could someone please follow it and see if you also cannot get > it to work, (or maybe I've lost a few brain cells)... > It's called "Create a Master/Detail Form" and it can be found > at MSDN Help files under: > VBDocumentation/UsingVB/Data Access Guide/Interacting with data in MS Jet > HOPEFULLY, PLEASE CONFIRM THAT IT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU. > I'D HATE TO ADMIT I'M LOSING IT !
