The Data Control

The document discusses various properties of the Data Control in Visual Basic used to connect to a database, including the Connect, Database Name, and RecordSource properties. The Connect property specifies the database type. The Database Name property identifies the path of the database file. The RecordSource property selects the table used by the data control. Arrays are most suitable for storing student names because they allow storage of multiple values in a fixed memory location. A For loop is most convenient for processing arrays because it allows iterating through each element in order.
