Does your project have more than one form? Is the data form with everything on it Form2? Check your project properties and see what the Startup is set to - I'd bet it's Form1 (or some form that's NOT your data form).

 

If you have a Sub Main, you can also look in there for a line like Application.Run(...) and make sure that it's running your data form, not some other form.

 

If you only have one form, let us know. There's a small bug that crops up from time to time in the IDE that erases a few lines of code that are relatively easy to put back (maybe) :)

Wizard - Data Form

 

Hi, Thanks for the reply

 

I have two forms

WindowsApplication1- which has the text boxes, buttons, etc

and when I run.....another form comes up Form1 - which has nothing in it....and my WindowsApplication1 does not show...

If i place focus on WindowsApplication1 - Form1 still loads after it runs....which says to me that they are connected but i / it (wizard) has not placed anything on the Form1 so it cannot display anything.....is this normal....if it is how to i get to see my data...

The whole procedure went as follows -

new project

windows application

Add new item

Data Form Wizard

Open

Which data set i want to use....i choose new one (ASD)

Which connection should the wizard use - i choose my database (access that i have on my harddrive)....this is a new database however i did enter information in my client and staff field

Choose tables or views - i choose clients and staff

I next choose Staff as parent and clients as child / rename the relationship staff discount...choose the staffID and clientID as the keys

Now when it runs i get the form1 form which has nothing on it.....what do i need to do
