thank you very much for the infos.there's another thing i'm curious about.
usually,when we make an sql statement in vb,for an example :-
Adodc1.RecordSource = SELECT * FROM Student WHERE student_id = '"& id & "'
in this case, we get a single set of information of the student(name,age,add,course,etc....).this is because the id is unique.
is it possible for "Adodc1.RecordSource" to hold more than one set of infos retrieved from the table?
eg : make a query and retrieve 3 rows of info matching the criteria of my sql statement.
*i tried doing it but keeps getting an error.i wonder if this might be the cause of my error.
