Hye all. I need some help. Iam using vb.net 2010 and MS Acsess 2013. I have problem when retrieve multiple rows from database to datagridview. All rows have the same identification number(RFID Card No.).I want to record how many times the card had scan. Please help me here. Thanks for advance.

Public Sub updateTextBox()
        data = data + myComPort.ReadExisting()
        If Len(data) = 12 Then

            Dim i As Integer
            Dim newdata As Boolean = True
            For i = 0 To (grid.Rows.Count - 1)
                If grid.Rows.Item(i).Cells(0).Value = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Mid(data, 6, 6) Then
                    newdata = False
                    Exit For
                Else
                    newdata = True
                End If

I would suspect your select/fill code to have a fixed index.

Have you checked to make sure?

Or am I misunderstanding the question?
