[RESOLVED] Connect database field to database field

Hi guys and girls, in first place sorry for my english.

I really need help, I created a local Database in VB2008 with 4 tables, the problem is that I have a textbox in one table and a combobox in other table and I want that the information that I put in textbox appear after in combobox from the other table... that's possible?

Table: Filmes ... Field: NomeTextBox
Table: Tempo de Aluguer ... Field: Nome_FilmeComboBox

I dont understand on your question. do you want to say that when you add some entry in textbox on one form so that you want to display that entry in combobox?

Welcome! :wave:

Perhaps if you gave us the table structure we could figure it out. Normally textboxes and comboboxes don't go in tables.

I have 2 different tables in 2 different forms and I want that when I put a string in textbox and save that string appear on combobox list from the other form...

You can create a method on the form with the combobox to add an item to it.

And how I do that ?

Create a public sub.

And I can do that with a field from database?

This would add the text from a Textbox on one form to the list of items in a combobox on another. Is that what you're trying to do?

Code:

---

ComboBox1.Items.Add(Form1.TextBox1.Text)

I think that is something like that but didn't work because combobox and textbox are both fields from a localdatabase.

Already I solved the problem ... I used the option "Use data bound items" and solved :)

Thanks for your help.

call the database at the form load event on that form where you want to see the data and bind the specific field with combobox
