Re: Binding Data to Forms, Textboxes etc.

My sincere apologies for hitting the wrong button for the forum of interest.
I intended to post this to the .net forms newsgroup, and yes I may be mixing
up the terminology, between 'legacy ADO, Ado.net, DAO, Classic Data Design,
E-R Design, Object Oriented Design, etc. Some of us have suffered through
all the various versions, consistencies, inconsistencies, similararites,
dis-similararties, and just plain muddling of terms between all of these.
As a result, our brains don't fire exactly right all the time.

Not to mention the various versions of "standard SQL" ;>

Please accept my humble apologies.

Ed Warren.
