    Update Access DB from DataGridView with Two Data Tables

    I have 2 tables in the same database.

    tblAircraft - ACID, ACName

    tblMaster - MasterID, ACID, and many others that are not relevant to my question.


    tblAircraft is a lookup table with all the aircraft listed. tblMaster is the main table and holds all the detail information.

    I have a DataGridView that has several columns. Column 1 is a combobox column that has the ACName from tblAircraft. The rest of the columns are textbox columns with data from tblMaster. My application works as far as displaying all the data and I can use a dataadapter update command to update tblMaster (good) and the other datasource updates tblAircraft (bad) with the DataGridView. My problem is that I want ACID in tblMaster to be updated with the ACID from the combobox. Of course it won't because it belongs to the datasource for tblAircraft. What am I missing?

    I have spent hours and hours trying to figure this out. I hope my explanation is clear. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    Code:
        Private Sub cboAC_SelectionChangeCommitted(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles cboAC.SelectionChangeCommitted
    
            dsACGrid = LoadDataSet()
    
            'Refreshes DataGridView
            If dgvTasks.ColumnCount > 0 Then
                For i As Integer = 0 To dgvTasks.ColumnCount - 1
                    dgvTasks.Columns.RemoveAt(0)

    I apologize for the formatting of my code. I tried to find a way to edit it but I don't see the edit button.

    You probably can't edit a post until you've made a minimum number, which may be 10. Use the Reply With Quote button to get a copy of your original post and then edit that.

    Re: Update Access DB from DataGridView with Two Data Tables

    You should probably just set Datagridview combobox column properly. Assuming that your ACID is actually your tblAircraft record ID you should set Datagridview combobox column displayMember as "ACName" and ValueMember to "ACID". Then you will store this value in Datagridview column. And If this column is bound to your table tblMaster then you should update wihout problem. You can bound field to whatever table column also in design mode of Datagridview.

    For information on how to do that, follow the CodeBank link in my signature below and check out my thread on a ComboBox Column In A DataGridView.

    Re: Update Access DB from DataGridView with Two Data Tables

    I may not have been articulate in asking my question so I'll try using a picture.

    Name:  SupGen.jpg

    This is my DataGridView. The "Aircraft" column is a lookup of a list of aircraft in datatable dtAircraft from table tblAircraft. The rest of the columns belong to the datatable dtACGrid from table tblMaster. When I click the Save button (dataadapter.update), the first column updates tblAircraft while the rest update tblMaster. What I want to happen is for the value in column one (and the rest) to update the ACID and ACName columns of tblMaster.

    I know WHY it is doing what it's doing, I just don't know how to make it do what I want.

    Does this make more sense?

    Re: Update Access DB from DataGridView with Two Data Tables

    Firstly, your tblMaster should not have both ACID and ACName. It should just contain a foreign key, i.e. a column that corresponds to the primary key of the related table. That means ACID only. For one thing, that means that, should the name of an aircraft change, you don't then have numerous incorrect values in other tables.

    As for the issue, if you configure things the way I have in my CodeBank thread then it will work as you want. The grid will be bound to tblMaster and any changes in the combo box column will change the ACID in tblMaster. You then just save changes from your tblMaster DataTable back to tblMaster in the database and you're done. If you don't want to save any changes to any other tables then don't.

    As JM said - in other words - change your SQL query for Datagridview column to "Select ACID from...", to show only ACID. Then go to design of Datagridview, click on Edit columns>> click Datagridview combobox column and bound this column to "ACID" or whatever your table column name is for "ACID" in Tblmaster, in DataPropertyName property. Or do It all in code....And If I were you I would remove Selection_change commited code, you should bind your combobox only once, like in Form_Load. If you need to refresh datagridview during runtime, you just refresh datatable of Tblmaster, combobox column will allready have It's data and will change It's display value when you'll change underlying Tblmaster value in that column.

    Re: Update Access DB from DataGridView with Two Data Tables

    I think we have a communication problem and I'm sure it's on my side. I can't bind the combobox column to tblMaster because then the list will only show aircraft that have detail records. It needs to show ALL aircraft available, even if there are no detail records. It must be bound to tblAircraft (lookup) so that the user can add a new record for an aircraft that doesn't already exist in tblMaster. For example, if there are records in tblMaster for CV22 and MC130 then the combobox will only show those. If the user wants to add a new record in the datagridview for an F16, it needs to show F16 in that combobox list. If I bind it to tblMaster then it won't show F16 in the list.

    Re: Update Access DB from DataGridView with Two Data Tables

    Yes you do need to have the combobbox column bound to tblMaster, then you use tblAircraft as the datasource for the combobox list.

    OK, the combobox is working now but the dataadapter update is not working. The error I get is "Missing the DataColumn 'ACName' in the DataTable for the SourceColumn 'ACName'. Here's my updated code.

    Re: Update Access DB from DataGridView with Two Data Tables

    From what I can make of your code, you use daACGrid to fill both dtACGrid and dtAircraft, then you call the update method using the dtACGrid datatable. But you last used daACGrid to fill dtAircraft, so that won't work.

    I don't see where Conn, dsACGrid, daACGrid or the two datatables are created so I'm guessing their in a module and are Public/Global objects.

    Anyway you really should use two dataadapters, one for dtACGrid and one for dtAircraft.

    Re: Update Access DB from DataGridView with Two Data Tables

    Thank you wes4dbt! I changed a few lines to create a second dataadapter and the update is working now. Thanks to all for your comments! Here is my final code for anyone who is interested.

    Code:
    Public Class Form1
    
        Dim strACGrid As String = ""
        Dim strSQL As String = ""
        Dim dsACGrid As New DataSet
        Dim dsAircraft As New DataSet
        Dim dsAC As New DataSet
        Dim dtACGrid As New DataTable
        Dim dtAircraft As New DataTable
        Dim daACGrid As OleDbDataAdapter
        Dim daAircraft As OleDbDataAdapter
        Dim cbACGrid As OleDbCommandBuilder
