Hi. getting real frustrated. using jaw and had to use access database. and copied the data grid view and the binding source, etc. now, is there an easy way to and cannot seem to find a key to pop up the smart tag. and to change the text box, a hard time to have to try to find say the first text field delete that, then the bining navigator. and then to pop up the smart editor. thoguht i would be clever and stick a combo box, and then select the fileds, except the first field, and set that as the data field source. but it threw an exception error line 0. so real frustrated. so deleted and created this file at least half a dozen times. any help, real frustrated. wish there was an easier way to convert from a text box to a combo box. real frustrated. can you help. cheers Marvin.
