Well yet another request in my quest to unravel the secrets of VB/DOS :)

I took a look at the example of using the ISAM stuff which comes with the
program. The example only shows the use of single record displays, which
is fine...(use a normal form), but I am wondering how I can easily show
a table view of the database. So far, I have come up with two solutions.

1) Create a normal list with each item consisting of all the fields
	combined into one string. This presents a problem in that the 
	construction of a list would take a significant amount of time.
	Nice thing is the easy manipulation of the list once it is
	constructed (using the scroll bars, etc...)

2) Create a list for each field then link the lists. Something like
	as the user uses the scroll bars or a key to change the position
	of one of the lists, all of the lists change. Problem with this 
	method is that I can not easily change the horizontal position of the 
	lists if I need to show more fields then the screen can show.

I'm sure someone else has tackled this problem with either VB/DOS or
VB/Windows. Any insight would be appreciated.

P.S. I guess I could create some type of custom control???? I have not
really looked into this prospect since I not yet delved into this
realm :).
Thanx.
