Adding rows to a dbgrid

[Blasshole]

I am trying to make a database with the dbgrid control. So far, I have added 10 columns and set the columns's names and captions. But how do you add rows to the grid by code? The code I have so far goes as follows:

The following is inserted into the general section of a module.

'toy stands for time of year(date screws things up)

Public RXNUMBER, TOY, ROOM, PNAME, DIRECT, DRUGNAME, STRENGTH, _
AMOUNT, DOCTOR, OTHERDIR As Column

The following is a funtion that will set up the columns and rows of the dbgrid.

Function SetUpData()

'add columns

Dim x As Integer
x = 1
Do
Form1.DBGrid1.Columns.Add 0
x = x + 1
Loop Until x = 10

Set RXNUMBER = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(1)
Set TOY = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(2)
Set ROOM = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(3)
Set PNAME = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(4)
Set DIRECT = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(5)
Set DRUGNAME = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(6)
Set STRENGTH = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(7)
Set AMOUNT = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(8)
Set DOCTOR = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(9)
Set OTHERDIR = Form1.DBGrid1.Columns(10)

RXNUMBER.Visible = True
TOY.Visible = True
ROOM.Visible = True
PNAME.Visible = True
DIRECT.Visible = True
DRUGNAME.Visible = True
STRENGTH.Visible = True
AMOUNT.Visible = True
DOCTOR.Visible = True
OTHERDIR.Visible = True

RXNUMBER.Caption = "Rx Number"
TOY.Caption = "Date"
ROOM.Caption = "Room #"
PNAME.Caption = "Patient Name"
DIRECT.Caption = "Directions"
DRUGNAME.Caption = "Drug Name"
STRENGTH.Caption = "Strength"
AMOUNT.Caption = "Amount"
DOCTOR.Caption = "Doctor"
OTHERDIR.Caption = "Other Directions"

RXNUMBER.Width = 900
TOY.Width = 800
ROOM.Width = 800
DIRECT.Width = 2000
DRUGNAME.Width = 1100
STRENGTH.Width = 800
AMOUNT.Width = 800
DOCTOR.Width = 1000
OTHERDIR.Width = 1900

End Function

This funtion works to set up the columns of the grid, but how do you insert rows by code?
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

If you bind to a table, the grid will set itself to the number of records in the table. You can set the VisibleRows property whether the DBgrid is bound to a table or not.

Try this code:
private Sub cmdAddRow_Click()
dim ncount as integer

ncount = MSFlexGrid1.Rows
'*'to add rows if GRID filled out , but additional row is needed
'*'1. Check, if now free space for data still available
'*'2. Add One row:
If MSFlexGrid1.TextMatrix(ncount - 1, 0) <> "" Then
MSFlexGrid1.Rows = ncount + 1
ncount = ncount + 1
MSFlexGrid1.Row = MSFlexGrid1.Rows - 1
MSFlexGrid1.Col = 1
MSFlexGrid1.CellBackColor = &H8000000F
MSFlexGrid1.GridColor = vbBlack

End If

i dont know if it helps, but if you use the data object, try this code and check what it dode:

data1.recordset.addnew

Thanks everyone! The data1.recordset.addnew turned out to be the most effective way to do it. Thanks again, and if ya have the time, take a look at my other topic...I would really appreciate it.
