i'm using vb 6
my report needs data using two database, how?

thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums!

Depends on the nature of the data your getting from the 2 databases (eg. your doing a union or a join) and if you have access to db schema (eg. create linked tables) and if your setting up the data report progmatically or at desugn time (eg. data environment).

To get records from a table in another database http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ghlight=select

im using data environment,
but i have problem in DataMember,
i want to use 2 database in 1 report?
is there a way?

Depends what your getting from the two databases... this is not possible http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ghlight=select because the data report is not a sophisticated (eg. compared to crystal)

There has to be a way to relate them or tie them up, eg. select join, select union. If there is a way to assign data from the 2 databases into one recordset (you will have to specify the SQL using SELECT...FROM...IN as demonstrated in link in post#2), then you can setup the data report through code http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ataenvironment

What kind of databases?

microsoft access 2003,
2 databases, 2 recordset,
let's put it in this way...
dbA = database A
i have data from dbA, and i'm gettting data to my data report from dbA, and i have also data from dbB, how can i put the data in my data report with dbA and dbB...
in vb6 you can only choose 1 datamember..
please help me

Not much information to work with, yes your trying to get data from 2 databases but what are the details?

Post the queries for data A and data B (assuming your querying them separately or creating separate reports), and indicate which columns are included in the report(A+B) and what is the sample output (or sample layout) of report(A+B).

Then we will see if its possible or not.

here is the form where you will input the data

and here is the form where you can view the reports
each record has premium...
so as you see the total premium is in a textbox, and save in a different database
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...ks/screen2.jpg

here is the data report

how can i put my total premium, (that i was saved in otherdatabase),,,, in the data report.

the first database is for the records, and the second is the total premium...
:((


here is what i want to print...

producer.....assured......premium ->>> save in the database A

sherll...........aa............1560.59
dan.............bb............1659.78



total premium: 3220.37 ->>> save in the database B

No need to query the other database, just total the premiums in current database using rptFunction control for data report. Place it in report footer section.

thank you very much daniel,
i really appreciate your help...
