Hi. doing a chapter on databases with winforms in visual basic and web forms in visual web developer. i know, don't grumble! okay, using jaws 10 beta 2, using access databases, as the databases that i need to use for the sql version got corrupted, both on the hard disk, and the cd, and tried downloading, but it did not like the sql database in the wizard, so using a access database. now, my problems are: 1. how to bind data fields to controls like binding a data set to a text box, combo box, and what are the steps to acheiving this? 2. how do i use the smart tag, as jaws some times does not read it prpeprlyproperly. or do i have to drop text boxes, and combo boxes, then bind the data source to the field, for that control in win forms? that is the main problem i am having. in vwd, a lot easier to set up. but will ask a question about doing that in vwd in another e-mail. so any jaws guys, how do i go about acheiving this, as part of my main assignment, which i have done a database in access, is to set up textboxes, and then bind controls. i don't remember how i did it at my campus, when i had jaws 6.10 a few months ago. so will need refreshing. cheers Marvin. __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
