    Here's some code: View declaration: class CCookItDBView : public CRecordView {      enum{ IDD = IDD_COOKITDB_FORM };      CMyDB* m_pSet; // Attributes public:      CCookItDBDoc* GetDocument() const;    void InsertItemsIngred();    void SetExtendedIngred();    void SetColumsIngred();// gives error at runtime NOT Compile time // Operations public:      // Ingredients LC      CListCtrl m_cIngred_LC;      CRecipeDataVec m_vRecipe;      CRecipeData m_cRecipeData; ..... }; void CCookItDBView::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX) {      CRecordView::DoDataExchange(pDX);      DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_INGRED_LC, m_cIngred_LC);IDC_INGRED_LC is the List Control and m_cIngred_LC is it's varable      // you can insert DDX_Field* functions here to 'connect' your controls to the database fields, ex.      // DDX_FieldText(pDX, IDC_MYEDITBOX, m_pSet->m_szColumn1, m_pSet);      // DDX_FieldCheck(pDX, IDC_MYCHECKBOX, m_pSet->m_bColumn2, m_pSet);      // See MSDN and ODBC samples for more information } void CCookItDBView::SetColumsIngred()      {      //CString csWorkDate = "";      CString csAmt = "Amount:";      CString csUnit = "Unit:";      CString csIngred = "Ingredients:";      // insert two columns (REPORT mode) and modify the new header items      CRect rect;      m_cIngred_LC.GetClientRect(&rect);// gives error at Runtime NOT compile Time      int nColInterval = rect.Width()/7;      m_cIngred_LC.InsertColumn(0, csAmt, LVCFMT_LEFT, nColInterval*2);      m_cIngred_LC.InsertColumn(1, csUnit, LVCFMT_LEFT, nColInterval*2);      m_cIngred_LC.InsertColumn(2, csIngred, LVCFMT_LEFT, nColInterval*2);      }

    Where are you calling SetColumsIngred from. You cannot call it from the dialog constructor. It has to be called From the OnInitDialog function.

      void CCookItDBView::OnInitialUpdate() {      SetColumsIngred();      m_pSet = &GetDocument()->m_CookItDBSet; } ass you can see, I am calling it from the CRecordView class (see previous header code)

        Set a breakpoint in OnInitialUpdate and single step into SetColumsIngred.

          I did that already. That's how I know where if crashes. I crashes on the three lines I indicated above.

            Does the list control window exist at this point?

                      //This crashes because as you indicated the window has not been created yet: void CCookItDBView::OnInitialUpdate() {      m_pSet = &GetDocument()->m_CookItDBSet;      SetColumsIngred();      CRecordView::OnInitialUpdate(); } // THIS IS CORRECT   IT WORKS NOW void CCookItDBView::OnInitialUpdate() {      m_pSet = &GetDocument()->m_CookItDBSet;      CRecordView::OnInitialUpdate();      SetColumsIngred(); } I didn't understand you previous comment until in debug I caught it. Thanks David. Question: I have several "Tables" in the database that hopefully will point me to data contained in other tables that are not presently linked in the RecordSet. For example: Table "RecipeData" is not linked in the RecordSet (I didn't select it when I selected the Tables) can I still do this:   CString str = m_pSet->[RecordDate].Recipe;

                        Yes, you can reference whatever tables you want in the GetDefaultSQL() method. Make sure that the fields in the query match the order of the associated variables in the DoFieldExchange() method.

                            If your query is joining multiple tables, it cannot be updated (i.e., read-only).

                              So how do I update, ie Read, Write or delete an individual table's record. Do I have to create a DSN for each table or what?

                                Yes. Those tables should all be linked together via a primary/foreign key.

                                No, but you may end up with several recordset classes.

                                  David, I don't understand your response. The tables are all loaded, but I cannot write or delete any records in them. How exactly do I write to one of the tables to add a new record? How dom I set CanUpdate() and CanAppend() to TRUE. Nowhere in the Wizzard supplied Recordset class is there an "Open(....)" statement so I can change anything, so just how do I get to write tothe database?

                                    David, I don't understand your response. The tables are all loaded, but I cannot write or delete any records in them. How exactly do I write to one of the tables to add a new record? How dom I set CanUpdate() and CanAppend() to TRUE. Nowhere in the Wizzard supplied Recordset class is there an "Open(....)" statement so I can change anything, so just how do I get to write tothe database?

                                    Make sure the DSN, the CDatabase object, and the CRecordset object are all opened correctly (i.e., non read-only).

                                    Use the CRecordset::AddNew() followed by CRecordset::Update().

Am I supposed to do a database "Open(....) statement somewhere. I didn't see that in your I "Invoice" program anywhere. I simply don't know what to do at this point. Help please!

                                        It's not necessary since CRecordset also has an Open() method.

                                          David, I don't do any SQL statements. I'm supposing the recordset is initialized properly on execution. It does read fine(the data is in the varables. But it will NOT allow me to write a record to the database. I did this: BOOL B = m_pSet->CanAppend(); and BOOL f = m_pSet->CanUpdate(); and both show "0" values. I don't know how to make it "CRecordset::none" which is supposed to make it writable, but it doesn't.   Another thing, in using Windows Explorer I right click on the folder and the "Read Only" box is filled in; I clear it and click the applly button, I select the apply to subfolders and files and click "OK" and no activity is shown I click "OK" and immediately click on property again and "Read Only" is again filled in. I go through the same thing again with the same results.   I am the only User of this computer and all listed Users(ie, SYSTEM, Administrator, User all have "Full Control" security selected. What gives?
