Database Design:: Visual Basic

The document describes the design of a home inventory database and application in Microsoft Access. It involves: 1) Creating a single table database with fields to store item details and saving it. 2) Designing a report in the Data Report designer to display the inventory. 3) Building a form in the Visual Basic editor to allow adding, editing, deleting and viewing items with navigation buttons and text boxes bound to the database fields. Code is added to handle the button click events.

Database Design:

The first step is to design a database using Data Manager (or Access). My database is
a single table (named MYSTUFF). Its specifications are:

This database is saved as file HomeInv.mdb. Create a data link to your database. The
link is saved as HomeInv.udl.

Report Design:

The second step is to use the Data Environment and Data Report designers to setup
how you want the printed home inventory to appear. Use your discretion here. My
final report design is saved in denHomeInv and rptHomeInv. We will access this
report from our Visual Basic application. My Data Report design looks like this:

Project Design:
Form:

Properties:

Form frmHome:
BorderStyle = 1 - Fixed Single
Caption = Home Inventory

CommandButton cmdExit:
Caption = E&xit

ADO Data Control dtaHome:


Caption = Book Titles
ConnectionString = HomeInv.udl (in whatever folder you saved it in -
select, don’t type)
RecordSource = SELECT * FROM MyStuff
Visible = False

CommandButton cmdShow:
Caption = Show &Report

CommandButton cmdPrevious:
Caption = &Previous Item

CommandButton cmdNext:
Caption = &Next Item

CommandButton cmdDelete:
Caption = &Delete Item

CommandButton cmdAdd:
Caption = &Add Item

FontSize = 9.75
MaxLength = 20

TextBox txtItem:
DataField = Item

FontName = MS Sans Serif
FontSize = 9.75
MaxLength = 40
