DB Combo

hi experts :
i am not able to fill the DBCombo using ADODB.recordset or adodc control from the module. Please give me the right method to do it, if possible with an example.

regards
Sandy

Moved from FAQ forum

Welcome to VBForums :wave:

There is no need to use a DB combo, a normal combo can be used instead - see this FAQ thread for example code.

hi experts
thank you very much, yeah i also followed the same concept, but is it anyway possible to do that or else should i use any other source(other than ADODC) to fill the DB Combo. if there is a way to club DB combo and ADO then please let me know.

Is there a particular reason for using the DB combo?

I have never used it myself, I think when I tried it I found it quite restrictive/limited compared to the normal one. As far as I know you need to use a Data Control to fill a DB combo... and Data Controls are not recommended by many people (I think 2 of our regulars - out of about hundreds), due to their "issues".

I may not be 1 of the regular though I am one out of about hundreds that recommends against using Data bound controls, they have given me headaches before when I was just starting...

You are here quite often, and have got over 5000 posts.. I'd count you as a regular!
