Ado sql selection and display to grid

[ptran]

Can any help me out with an example how to display a select text from text box, and display the result to a grid with a sql query. I can easier do this in MS-Access, but find it differcult with VB ADO.

Thanks..

This post uses SQL server, just change the connection string to your Access DB and the rest should work fine

Clunietp,

Thanks for the help, I got it to connect and display the data in to the grid with the whole data. However I want to customer my Sql statement to display only the select data, I got and error, here is my code:

Set cn = New Connection
cn.Open "provider=Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & "Persist Security Info=FALSE;" & "Data Source = C:\12_13_99.mdb"
rs.Open "SELECT TestTable.* From TestTable where "combo1.Text" = "text1.Text" order BY LATA, `LERG 6_NPA`, `lerg 6_nxx`"
End Sub

Combo1.text is select from combo list
text1.text is text from text box.
Did I code it right or I missed something?

Thanks.

change this:

SELECT TestTable.* From TestTable where "combo1.Text" = "text1.Text" order BY

to this:

SELECT TestTable.* From TestTable where MyFieldNameToSearch = '" & text1.Text & "' order BY...

Clunietp,

Is there anyway we can pass the field from combo1 list to MyFieldNameToSearch.

ex. instead of
SELECT TestTable.* From TestTable where MyFieldNameToSearch = '" & text1.Text & "' order BY..

MyfieldNameToSearch is pass on by combo text?

Just wondering...

[Clunietp]

You can concatenate any string you would like.

SELECT TestTable.* From TestTable where [" & combo1.text & "] = '" & text1.Text & "' order BY...

I added the brackets [] in case your table name had spaces in it....
