Thanks :D

You mean showing records from your Database to a form.?

Try using Listview.

Heres a sample:

Public Sub Init_Data()

'On Error GoTo err:

    If rs.State = adStateOpen Then rs.Close	
    lvlEmpInfo.ListItems.Clear			'lvlEmpinfo - name of the Listview
    

rs.Open "Select * from Tablename", Dbconn, adOpenKeyset, adLockPessimistic	'Dbconn is my Database connection
    

    Do While rs.EOF = False
    
    lvlEmpInfo.ListItems.Add , , rs.Fields("EmpID").Value		

	
    'Subitems(1), the (1) is the arrangement of columns from 
    'DOnt know if you have to start from 0 really
    'The ("Fields") is where you put the column name from your database
	
    
    lvlEmpInfo.ListItems(lvlEmpInfo.ListItems.Count).SubItems(1) = rs.Fields("Field1").Value
    lvlEmpInfo.ListItems(lvlEmpInfo.ListItems.Count).SubItems(2) = rs.Fields("Field2").Value
    lvlEmpInfo.ListItems(lvlEmpInfo.ListItems.Count).SubItems(3) = rs.Fields("Field3").Value
    
    rs.MoveNext
    Loop
    
    If lvlEmpInfo.ListItems.Count = 0 Then		'Condition if there are no records from database
        cmdDelete.Enabled = False
        cmdEdit.Enabled = False
        cmdPrintSel.Enabled = False
        cmdPrintAll.Enabled = False
    Else
        cmdPrintAll.Enabled = True
    End If
    
    Dbconn.Close
    
    Exit Sub
err:
    MsgBox err.Description, vbCritical, "Error"
    Set rs = Nothing
End Sub

You can then just call this sub in your form load event.

Private Sub Form_Load()

Call Init_Data  'You can just remove the 'Call' word, still the same
  
End Sub

Or you could use Datagrid:

Hope this helps.

And please be more clean in stating (writing) your problem.

If you may.

What database are you using, access, MySql, Sql?

If you say online, on a local network or the web?

Do you have the IP for the server etc.?

I am using sql www.db4.net
server=db4free.net;Port=3306

Now we need to get the version of your sql. 2000, 2005, 2008? There is different connection strings for each version....

Have a look at THIS site for the correct connection string.

Once you are connected, you will be using the exact same code that you use for a normal desktop application.
