Hi guys,

i have two tabs one is expiry date and block. my problem is, when i click block tab for 1st time it will correctly populate the datagridview. but when i click expiry date tab then block tab again, i got this error 'Provided column already belongs to the DataGridView control.'

attached is my coding.

Private Sub PopulateAccess()

        Dim sQuery As String = "SELECT Cards.CardNo AS [Card No], Personnel.Name AS [Name], Cards.Expiry_Date AS [Door & Lift Expiry Date], CP_Card.ExpiryDate AS [Car Park Expiry Date], " & _
                            "Cards.AccTag AS [Door Access Rights], Cards.LiftAccTag AS [Lift Access Rights], Personnel.StaffNo, CP_Card.SendBit " & _
                            "FROM Cards LEFT OUTER JOIN Personnel ON Cards.StaffNo = Personnel.StaffNo " & _
                            "LEFT OUTER JOIN CP_Card ON Cards.CardNo = CP_Card.CardNo " & _
                            "ORDER BY Cards.CardNo "

        End Try
        

    End Sub

Have you tried clearing the DataGridView control each time you select that tab, before calling the PopulateAccess method?

what do u mean by clearing dgv control?

[Oxiegen]

dgvBlock_Acc.Rows.Clear()

And/Or

dgvBlock_Acc.Columns.Clear()
