HI. from the flow of the code I assume you want to fill a datatable and then create a new row from it. you can directly fill a datatable without using a dataset. Here I replaced some of the code. With this method, you have a direct access to the dattable. Dim strConn As String = " Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=E:\VilliageDatabase\Ainslie.mdb" Dim conn As New OleDbConnection(strConn) Dim Sql As String = "select * from tblTransaction" Dim TblTrans as new datatable Dim adapter As OleDbDataAdapter adapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(Sql, conn) conn.open() intc = adapter.Fill(TBLtrans) Dim newrow As DataRow = TBLtrans.NewRow furthermore, you can filter the datatable using its defaultview without using an extra dataview. TblTrans.DefaultView.RowStateFilter=DataViewRowState.Added Datagrid1.datasource = TBLtrans.defaultview GUERVEN Truth or Consequence

Did you get it when you were running your web ASP.NET application? If so, this is the web buit-in server in the Express Edition. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/faq/#vwd[^] http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/58wxa9w5.aspx[^]

It does - installs Apache on port 8080 - hence the URL..:) "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......" Christian Graus At The Soapbox

Sorry about this question but how do you make the dll ?

I tried after recieving your advice which was similar to advice from others elsewhere, but now i get an error that Me.handle cannot be converted to long ??? me.handle nealy worked i guess. the other suggestion was a syntax error.thx X|

Any advice ??

Could it be a Unicode setting problem? ...Steve 1. quod erat demonstrandum 2. "Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you've fed him for life." I read that somewhere once :-)

Dear Steve, Thanks for the reply. I was coming to that conclusion. I was getting confused with scope after an exercise where the objects were created in a frmLoad_ Event(local scope). To populate a ListBox using Item.Add(NewObject(x,y,z) . Then in a new procedure --> ListBox_Click Event <-- the object was addressed via its method ListBox.SelectedItem.GetPrice This is still a bit murky for me....but I think I see that the ListBox contains the actual object so can be directly referenced. Thanks Mick..:zzz: Am I still asleep
