Hi All:
I have linked a vb application to Access using a data grid. In the data grid I have all of the fields from my tables showing. HERE IS MY PROBLEM. The fields in the datagrid come in in alphabetical order I.E.:I have address field in front of the firstname field. How can I make the fields show in the datagrid in the order I want? SECOND. On my application I have an update button to update my database. If I enter an updated name in a text box and hit the update button, it doesn't work. If I click on the record in the data grid, then it will work. How can I get the UPDATE button to work, rather than having to click on the record in the datagrid? Thanks for all of your help!!!!!

I don't know if this will help, but I used to arrange fields in table view, but the datgrid would not bring them in the order shown, until I arranged them in Access in design view, then saved the table.
