I hoping you might be able to help me with a small problem. I have
made an application that links a VB.NET program to a database. After
many failed attempts and reading I can add, delete, navigate records
and update the actual database. I have a simple database with two
tables that form a car maintenance tracking program. One table holds
the information on the car with a secondary table that holds service
information. One of the fields in the service table in the database is
type Memo so I can have long description of what was done in the
service. I have used bound controls for all of the input boxes. I
wanted to be able to type information into a list box and then load
that into my DataSet then update that to the actual database. RIght
now I can do it using a text box but it doesn't look that nice & it's
hard to see what you have typed. I am using a OleDb connection for
connecting to my database. Thanks for any input to this problem.

Cheers, Dennis
 
Hi Dennis,

Did you already look to the datagrid, it sounds if you just wanted to use
that?

I think that will be good to set the next step?
(Although I think it will not be the last).

Sorry I didn't make that clear enough, I don't want to use the data
grid because it doesn't look good and I don't think a user wan'ts to
type 300 words on a single line. This program uses bound controls and
no data grids. I wanted to use a List box and have that update the
data into the database. Oh well, I guess I keep trying. Thanks for the
help though.

Cheers, Dennis
