I have the names of two fields in a database file. I want to get each entry in each field, and I want to do this without using any controls, just coding. How can I achieve this? Thanks.

In Project, References menu select Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.0 Library. In General Declaration place (Sample works with Sample db Biblio.mdb):

private cn as Connection
private rs as Recordset



In Form_Load event:

private Sub Form_Load()
Dim FirstField 'you need to decide what type
Dim SecondField
set cn = new Connection
cn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
cn.Open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;Data Source=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Biblio.mdb;"

set rs = new Recordset
rs.Open "select Au_ID,Author from Authors", cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
FirstFileld = rs!Au_ID
SecondField = rs!Author
'you have your fields in variables now.
'you can use methods of Recordset object, like MoveNext, MoveLast and so on.
