CONECTING VB6.0 WITH MS ACCESS

1. Start a new application. We’ll develop a form where we can skim through the books database,
examining titles and ISBN values. Place an ADO data control, two label boxes, and two text
boxes on the form.

2. If you haven’t done so, create a data link for the BIBLIO.MDB database following the steps
given under Data Links in these notes.

3. Set the following properties for each control. For the data control and the two text boxes, make
sure you set the properties in the order given.

Form1:
BorderStyle - 1-Fixed Single
Caption - Books Database
Name - frmBooks

Adodc1:
Caption - Book Titles
ConnectionString - BIBLIO.UDL (in whatever folder you saved it in - select, don’t type)
RecordSource - SELECT * FROM Titles
Name - dtaTitles

Label1:
Caption - Title

Label2:
Caption - ISBN

Text1:
DataSource - dtaTitles
DataField - Title
Locked - True
MultiLine - True
Name - txtTitle
Text - [Blank]

Text2:
DataSource - dtaTitles (select, don’t type)
DataField - ISBN (select, don’t type)
Locked - True
Name - txtISBN
Text - [Blank]
When done, the form will look something like this

4. Save the application. Run the application. Cycle through the various book titles using the data
control. Did you notice something? You didn’t have to write one line of Visual Basic code! This
indicates the power behind the data tool and bound tools.
