From reading a few sites i see that datasets or a datagrid is used, i cant seem to find this in VC++6 where is it or what am i ment to use many thanks

VC6 is three versions out of date. As such, it does not support .NET, and datagrids are part of the .NET framework. Have you seem the ultimate grid ? http://www.theultimatetoolbox.com/?CID=CPTbxTop[^] The reason this product exists is that there is no useful grid that comes with VC6, or even MFC to this day. There are some free grids about, in fact, Chris Maunder wrote one, which is on CP somewhere. Obviously, UG is better, that's why it's a commercial product, but the free one may be all you need.

You might consider using the MSFlexGrid (Active-x) control Grids.
