hi... i have a small doubt in hw to check the initial charecters in text... like if the first two letters of my text is OS or TP... so based on that i should be able to select which database to select...
and one more doubt is dat suppose i want to check the status of a request then the corresponding details of that id only should open.. so do i need a multiple select statement... or is it possible to have select statement for more than one field???

please reply!

thanking in advance!

hi. you can left command

If Left(Text1.Text, 2) = "OS" Then
    rs.open"select * from table"
Elseif Left(Text1.Text, 2) = "TP" Then
    rs1.open"select * from table1"
else
    rs2.open"select * from table2"
end if

hi the left command worked perfect.... can you please clarify my other doubt also... that is if we can select multiple fields from a dabase and show it at the VB front end???
