Displaying a form

[EscapeUK]

New to VB

What I have are two forms one displaying a list of calls. What i want to happen is that when i select one of the items in the grid and press a button another form is displayed and its fields populated with data from the selected row on the grid.

eg

Form is displayed and a row is selected that contains

Name (John) LastName(Brown) Age (22)

the button is press and anther form is displayed and the fields on it are populated with
Name (John)
lastName(Brown)
Age(22)

From what I'm getting about your post, would it not be easier to show Form1 when a user double clicks on the grid, and Forms two when they press the button?


or if you are useing two buttons.. just set each button to show a differant form?

If i understand what you want to do, you want to show data in a grid and allow the user to modify data by pressing on a button.

Maybe you can try this if you are using a grid bound to a data source:

form2:
private sub form_load()
txtName = form1.dbgrid1.columns(0).value
txtLastName = form1.dbgrid1.columns(1).value
txtAge = form1.dbgrid1.columns(2).value
end sub

Hope it can help
good luck, grids are not easy to use
