Hello All:

I have a program using VB.NET and Access. I have 5 comboboxes and any combination that I choose I get a result.


I have 2 problems here:

1. I want to design 4 check boxes in such a way that any1 or combination when selected should give a result. say I have w,x,y,z as 4 checkboxes. There is a possibility that a record might have just w and x, or sometimes a record has w but not x.

I want queries to be displayed accordingly.

2. THe other problem is that, when I have chosen nothing in the combobox, and if I hit "click", I still get a few queries as o/p! I dont understand how.

3. The other bug is.. I have a couple of Values in RAM..1 gb, 2 gb, 2.98 gb..when I choose 8 gb..i get the values with 8gb RAM but i also get results having 2.98 gb RAM!

It will be very helpful if you helped me solve the 1st question and the 2 bugs!!

Thanks,
kukki.

I guess the solution to all the problems is the manner in which you have constructed the SQL statement.

Hi Shreyas:

I still dont understand how I should go about it.. I tried the code below.it does not give me any results..just shows up an error on da.fill...line..just that line..

THanks

Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click

Dim con As New OleDbConnection("provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=C:\Documents and Settings\bashkark\Desktop\Copy of USERS.mdb")

con.Open()

Dim cmd1 As New OleDbCommand

If (CheckBox1.Checked = True) Then

cmd1 = New OleDbCommand("select * from table1 where MECH='X'")

Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd1)

Try

Dim ds As DataSet = New DataSet()

ds.Tables.Add("table1")

da.Fill(ds, "table1")

DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables("table1").DefaultView

Finally

con.Close()

cmd1 = Nothing

da.Dispose()

con.Dispose()

End Try

End If
