Different Tables

[Kristo]

I got a PROBLEM about ADO ...
Let's put this scenario:

I got the following Tables:

o Clients
o Orders
o Details
o Credit
o Payments

Also I got a form with SSTAB with all the text boxes Required to bind info or make data entry.

So ... Every time when the user open his application, He gonna get all the clients Assing to him.

The problem is about how to update, add information but to the different tables ... So I'm confused about how I can get this done.

Any recomendation is Welcome


Thanx

Make a data control, to bind, for every table you need to get/put data to (if you're using bound controls) _or_ retrieve the data from each table and populate the unbound fields...

Ok ... Thanks for the recommendation, anyway do u have a little example to get clear the idea?

The other thing I forgot to mention is, I'm using SQL server 7, Stored procedures will help in this case?

Gracias

If you have info in some variables, which we call strSomething:

Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset

Set db = OpenDatabase("mydb.mdb")    ' open database
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Clients") ' open table

With rs
  '*** Add a record...
  .Add
  !FirstName = strFirstName ' set FirstName field in table
  !LastName = strLastName
  !PhoneNo = strPhoneNo
  strID = !ID  ' << get ID from new record (counter field)
  .Update                   ' << store the data
End With

rs.Close
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Orders")

With rs
  '*** Add record to order...
  .Add
  !OrderDate = Now()    ' order date
  !CustomerKey = strID  ' Foreign key to Clients table
  '
  ' more stuff here
  '
  strID = !ID ' get order ID if you need it
  .Update
End With

rs.Close  ' close table and DB...
db.Close
Set rs = Nothing  ' not really needed I think, but still...
Set db = Nothing

This is an example using DAO ... ADO is probably pretty much the same.
