Example - Accessing The Books Database

1. Start a new application. Well 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 havent 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:

ConnectionString - BIBLIO.UDL (in whatever folder you saved it in - select,

DataField - Title (select, dont type)

Locked - True
MultiLine - True
Name - txtTitle
Text - [Blank]
Text2:
DataSource - dtaTitles (select, dont type)
DataField - ISBN (select, dont type)
Locked - True
Name - txtISBN
Text - [Blank]
When done, the form will look something like this (try to space your controls as shown; well use all the blank space as we continue with
this example):

4. Save the application. Run the application. Cycle through the various book titles using the data control. Did you notice something? You
didnt have to write one line of Visual Basic code! This indicates the power behind the data tool and bound tools.
