Howdy Folks,
I'm back to report about what looks like a success with my first big VB D/B program. I've spent at least a month of nearly all of my spare time and then some working on this and it looks like it's ready for the first Publish.
It's a pretty complex deal but it works and it works great.
The program has cool features like show-hide, sorting, filters, etc.
It's a four-table database application with the main form controls bound to one table. The main form uses the first table and a friendDataSet feeds two fields from the first table to three child-like forms.
The three childlike forms also get a Table each from the remaining three Tables in the DataSet. The two fields from the first table share a DataGridView with all fields of another table on each child-like form.
One giant steppingstone was getting past Concurrency Exceptions that were caused by updating conflicts between the DataSet and the fDataSet.
There were other bridges I was able to cross thanks to some nice folks here that helped me. shakalama and spotty helped a lot. There are others who helped me too. I don't remember your handles but I appreciate the help.
I really appeciate my copy of VB Express and appeciate all the help fom you folks.
Many Thanks.

Big Success With My First Big DataBase Program!

Great to see you got one application completed and in the bag.

Thanks spotty.
But we know they're never really completed. There's always room for an update.
I've made some changes since the last post. Worked on the sizing, min, max, etc. for different screen resolutions.
