Making this form portable.

PrDonorinGrid.vbp

Connection string is done in Form_Load to make the program portable. The caption code puts a caption over the specified columns. The visible code eliminates two columns. In this program we do not see street address or zip. Note also the width code which sets the width of two columns.

PrDonorinGrid.vbp The column information specified in the code on the previous slide is implemented.

PrADOACDstuy.vbp The beginning steps to add a new record.

PrADOACDstuy.vbp In form load, the connection string and record source are established. The recordset is also sorted by idno (the key field). Here I add a new record with AddNew, populate it with data and then Update the field that I added.
