its very helpfull thanks ! i've got only question, i'll tried the "bound by build-in Databinding" mode but it seems that i cant Add a new row. the other version " Bound manually by code " works perfect to me ! if u have an idea what did i do wrong please let me know ... thank you !! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Yeah, there was a bug on the 2nd form that prevents you from correctly adding a new record. I'm sorry for that but I'm sure you could easily fix that. In the mean time, why dont you just use the first method ("bound by code"). It's more customizable than the 2nd one.

I'm researching on ADO.NET code for Access like yours. I have a 3 table form in Access that I want to modify into a back-end with ADO.NET as the front end. I have completed some of this, but I need help. Can you Arving help me? Your code looks clean and I've spent hours looking for extra snippets of code with no help. my msn is Collegescholar@hotmail.com and aim is LastradaChris
