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. -- ****************************************************************************** Peter G.
