Hey All About a week ago I developed a treeview form for a client who had 1,000s of lab results. About 6 years ago I had developed a fairly complex treeview form (10 levels) for a client, but I guess it is old age because I couldn't remember how I did most of the activities performed on the form. So basically I had relearn everything all over again. This became a study in frustration, "Just show me how to do it.", don't show me a page of cyptic code when I don't understand what I am doing in the first place. Anyway I decided to create a primer or cheat sheet mdb that I could use as a reference, to be updated as time goes by. It incorporates a treeview with 4 levels (from simple data tables) , treeview images (not a big fan of images but sometime I may need them, the images are poor quality because I just cut and pasted them) and a commandbar for the treeview. There is no fancy code (I wanted to keep it bare bones), some of the code is repetative, and because it is not an application there is no error trapping, integrity checks, etc. I am not an expert by any means with treeviews and commandbars, but it is a working model. If anyone is interested in working with treeviews and wants to avoid some of the frustration I went through, I can send you a copy of the primer offline. Maybe you can show me a few tips and tricks. Part 2 (when I get some more time) of my primer will incorporate linked subforms and list boxes. MDB - Access 2000 Hopefully everything will work on your machine, as I did read that sometimes problems can occur with the controls.
