Populating a Listbox with the Contents of a Field from a MDB

I need to populate a listbox with the contents of a field in a recordset of a MDB file. When the user clicks on one of the items in the list i need all the textboxes to be populated with thier fields in the same recordset.


Example: I have 15 textboxes, each one has the info of the 15 fileds in TblLetters. Field1 holds the names of the letters so it is named "Names". Well, i want to populate a listbox with all the "Names" and then when the user clicks on a Name the 15 textboxes are filled with thier coesponding Fields.


Any help is appreciated.

Off the top of me head!

VB Code:

rs.movefirst
 
Do until rs.eof = true
list1.additem rs.fields("Names")
rs.movenext
Loop

Hi, thanks for the input.

One problem here. I'm using the Data object and here is my code.

Data1.Recordset.MoveFirst

Do Until Data1.Recordset.EOF = True
List1.AddItem Data1.Recordset.Fields("Names")
Data1.Recordset.MoveNext
Loop

With this code i get the error

"Object Variable or With Block Variable not set"

What the heck does that mean?

NM i figured it out thanks. Now on to the next part =)

OK, i thought i was clear sorry if i wasn't.

I am using the data control from VB. I think you know what i mean.

I am using an Access MDB Database. I am using the "Microsoft ADO ext. 2.5 for Dll and security" refrence to acces the database.

I am not sure what other info you need.

Can u pls send the sample code that u r working

It would a great help for me to continue

Itty

There is not any code to show you. I am using a data control it requires almost no code.

I simply link the data control to the Database MDB then i link the textboxes to the fields.. it's very simple.

I just need to know how to get the fields to display when i click on the names in a list box.

Example: I have a list populated with the Items in Field "names". There are 15 fields in this table. When i click on a name in the listbox i want the 15 textboxes to be populated with the items in that field. The textboxes are all conected to the Data1 object which is connected to the recordset/table Names.

Using the datacontrol this worked for me!

VB Code:

Private Sub Command3_Click()
Data1.Recordset.MoveFirst
Do Until Data1.Recordset.EOF = True
List1.AddItem Data1.Recordset.Fields("Names")
Data1.Recordset.MoveNext
Loop
End Sub

Get rid of the ADO reference you dont need it!
But dont use datacontrols they really are bad mmmmmm kkkkkk
