That is a problem with the development environment.

When developing and using data bound controls you need to have a full connection up and running to be able to use the fields returned from the data controls.

It doesn't help that you might want something different when you are actually running the program so you are left between a rock and a hard place.

One thing you "might" want to do is if you are using VB6 to have a look at setting up a "Data Connection". This way you can default set it while you work and then let your program set it up at run-time for the correct database you want to use. Its an interesting new thing they added.

Do a search through your help files on "Data Environment" and "Data Connection"
