Default DataGrid vs. FlexGrid; Classes

Hi,

Question 1 : I want to do usual Database interaction stuff in a VB6 Project thru ADO/OLEDB recordsets etc.

I located two controls - MSFlexGrid and DataGrid. Should I use one rather than the other ? Is there an even "better" (perhaps newer) control I am not aware of ?

Which should I use ?

Question 2 : In Visual FoxPro I could design a form and save it as a class, to use it later as a template for lots of new forms. But in VB6 I seem not to be able to do that.
How can it be done ?

Thanks

Mike

Mike:

In regards to question 2:

You can save your "template" form in "\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Template\Forms".


Regards,

Rommel
