Data Environment

[BitCounter]

I have a large application with 3 main tables.  My application has about 20 different forms...on almost all of these forms, I need a relationship to my database.  I have combinations of ADO data controls on my forms as well as code to connect to the database and tables.  Sometimes I have code due to the population of a combo-box, etc.  My question is this....how do I simplify my connection to the database itself without having to hardcode on each form the connection?  Does the data environment do that for me?

I used the sstab control on a mdiform. This allows you to specify the database on time and each tab can be used as a seperate form I currently have 11 tabs running in my application. Play around with sstab. It is really quite simple to implement.
