I gave up trying to use data-aware controls in VB a very long time ago
(about 3 weeks after trying to get them to work AFAIR). I have used MS
SQLServer and Sybase SQL Anywhere with VB 6.
If you use readonly recordsets to fetch data and simple update/insert
commands to change data, the whole thing is much easier and more
efficient in the long run.
You probably can get it to work eventually. I did for small utilities and
such, but would not consider it for anything serious.
Cheers,
Gary.
