Binding to a Database

Binding to a Database

Question:
Is it possible to bind a cell in a grid with a database field (as we can do for text boxes and some other controls)?

Answer:
In VB3, the standard grid does not support data binding. If you get the TrueGrid control or one from Sheridan, those controls support data binding. In VB4, there is a data bound grid.
