Hi!

I wonder if anyone knows if the Access database table grid exists as a
component so I can use it in a VB6 application? If so where can I get it?

Best regards

Jahan,

My first thoughts are for you to use the Datagrid control to present the
data or maybe you want to see the database objects then you will need to
present the objects using ADO/DAO, etc. in a listbox or treeview control.

I think you will need to expand on what you are trying to acheive.

You can not use MSAccess controls (designers) in VB6.

There are products out there that will 'convert' MSAccess objects (forms,
controls, queries, etc) to VB Classic objects or provide addins that will
allow access to MSAccess designers in VB6.

These tools run from moderate pricing to outrageously expensive and in my
limited experience none are 100% effective. (Goggle for "microsoft access
convert VB6").

Ralph, please remove your goggles when googling. Microsoft has passed a
resolution stating that it's harmful to their health.

No this object is not exposed for use by other applications. You can use the DataGrid, or FlexGrid,
control that is included with Visual Basic. There are numerous third-party controls, as previously
mentioned, that are also available.
