• Visual Basic Does VB allow assignment of data with Row Column

  In a Table, where multiple rows and columns have been defined, CounterTable.ColumnCount, is there a way to supply data (letters and numbers) to that location An apparent solution SetColumn(CounterTable, c1) only refers to controls - is this a case of vocabulary .text never seems to show up as an option.

It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relatio ...Show All
