I am trying to transition from Access97 to Visual
Basic.net. My biggest challenge to date is the creation
of a Main/Sub Form. In Access97 You create a main form
and you can then insert a sub form. an example would be a
main form containing info on one customer and the sub
containing all records relative to that particular
customer. Just what is the VB Equivalent of this process?

As always, any help would b e greatly appreciated.

I'll probably get told I'm wrong, and there is a way of doing this, but I
dont think the concept exists as it did in Access. Your best bet is to start
looking at twin DataGrids and the ADO setup to make this work the way you
describe below.

There is no built-in way at the moment, but in VS.NET 2004, a control
for doing something like that will be included.
