access thread: Manipulating forms in datasheet view


Message #1 by Jason@C... on Mon, 26 Nov 2001 19:34:21
Is there a way of controlling a datasheet form through code, i.e. hiding 

columns, locking cells etc, or would i have to insert a seperate datagrid 

control? Also I know in Access 2000 if a subform has another subform you 

get a hierarchical datagrid, which is great, but sometimes when the form 

opens with no records in it you lose this functionality. Is there anyway 

of forcing this through code or would I have to insert a seperate 

heirarchical datagrid? Is there any advantages of using these datagrid 

objects instead of a subform? 

Any advice would be much appreciated.



Thanks

Jason

Datasheets have many 'undocumented' properties which may make them 

suitable for your database. I've an article on them that describes these 

properties and gives a few examples of their use. Drop me a line if you're 

still interested.
