DOCERR: Incomplete Instructions for Populating a Grid ControlLast reviewed: September 20, 1995Article ID: Q136977 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYPage 354 of the Developer's Guide, and the Help file topic "Populating Form Controls" both specify incomplete instructions for populating the grid from the results of a query. The text of both state "Set the RowSource or RecordSource property to the cursor or table you specified in the SELECT - SQL statement."
MORE INFORMATIONBoth resources should also state, "The RecordSource property needs to be specified in the grid's property sheet in the Form Designer, and respecified by means of the NEXT command after the SELECT - SQL command in the grid's Init event." The syntax to use for the grid's Init event is:
This.RecordSource = <cursor name>Reissuing the RecordSource property is required because the properties of the grid are lost when the query is executed. They need to be reestablished.
REFERENCESFor more information about the loss of properties of a grid populated by a query, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
