Dear Colleague:

How can I use "begin transaction", "commit transaction", "rollback transaction" and the like in the visual basic 6. Is it possible to populate a combobox in VB form with the data that is retrieved from SQL server database table? How the code looks like?

regards,

benyam

The workspace object has the begin/commit/rollback trans options (For Jet). If u r using SQL server, it will depend on how u r connecting to the database (ODBC, ADO, etc).

To populate a combo box from a recordset from SQL server db, simply use

Do until rs.eof
  combo1.additem rs("FieldName")
  rs.movenext
Loop

Dear colleague,

Workspace is an object in DAO Object Library. I have used to for accessing Access Databases using Jet. The syntax is something like

Dim ws as workspace
set ws = dbengine.workspaces(0)
Dim db as database
set db = ws.opendatabase(...)

etc


For query results to combo box, the code in my last post would work fine. If u r using ADO,

Dim rs as ADODB.Recordset
Dim objCmd as ADODB.Command

< Code to specify Query to execute >
set rs = objCmd.Execute()

And now u can use
do until rs.eof
....
loop
