Hi John (crossposted to AccessD because this brief chapter is excellent reading if you know nearly nothing about Visual Studio and wish a first-hand impression on how it "compares" to Access regarding creating forms). Did you read the sample chapter 4 from the link provided by Arthur for "Visual Basic 2005 Jumpstart (see below): www.oreilly.com/catalog/vbjumpstart/chapter/ch04.pdf The chapter covers exactly this. --- Hi Arthur All samples? It lists 470 on Visual Studio alone! Found the JumpStart code download and the book: http://examples.oreilly.com/vbjumpstart/ http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/vbjumpstart/ Thanks! /gustav --- >>> fuller.artful at gmail.com 27-04-2007 16:28 >>> Go to GotDotNet and download all the samples. Do it relatively quickly since MS has decided to phase out this site. Also go to Visual Studio Magazine and CodePlex. There is a very good intro book called VB.NET JumpStart (google vbJumpStart and you should get to the downloadable code). I found this book so good that I am currently thinking that .NET is even easier than Access.

I have ExportMap which defines field level info about a specific ExportSpec. I now know how to build a form to display ExportSpec, and I can also now build a form for ExportMap, but I need to open frmExportMap and filter the data in ExportMap to just the child records of the current ExportSpec. It would be nice but certainly not a requirement to embed frmExportMap in frmExportSpec a la Access. John W. Colby Colby Consulting www.ColbyConsulting.com
