I am new to VB6 development. There is a project that I am converting to VB6 from MS ACCESS. It has forms that uses subforms and combo boxes. Is there a way to use or copy these forms into VB6 and use them with an ACCESS database?

Answer to the last question.
I've spent some time doing this. You need to redo the forms from scratch. You may well be able to copy in a large amount of code and do a global search/replace to make it vb rather than Access. An Access subform is generally used because it has a different recordsource to the main form. In vb the form does not have a recordsource and you can have controls and grids related to one/ many or none at all recordsources. You could for instance put half a dozen grids on a form, all with different recordsources. The performance might not be too sparkling. Peter Meachem
