Strictly speaking, you cannot <i>directly</i> bind a grid to a Data control on another form. For example, assume you have a grid on Form2 and you would like it to display data from the <strong>Recordset</strong> of Data1, which is on Form1. You need to first bind the grid to a Data control (Data2) on Form2. Form2.Data2 is not connected to a database. Instead, the <strong>Recordset</strong> of Form2.Data2 is set to the <strong>Recordset</strong> of Form1.Data1:</p> <div class="FilteredContentCS" data-title="CS" data-itemid="CS"> <table class="SyntaxTable"> <tbody> <tr> <th>Example Title</th> <th> <div class="CopyCodeWrapper"> <span class="CopyCode">Copy Code</span> </div> </th> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <pre> Form2.Data2.DatabaseName = Form1.Data1.DatabaseName Set Form2.Data2.Recordset = Form1.Data1.Recordset </pre> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p>The grid on Form2 will work as if it were directly bound to Form1.Data1. When you move or update records through Form1.Data1, the grid on Form2 will respond accordingly. Conversely, if you move or update records in the grid, all controls on Form1 that are bound to Form1.Data1 will respond.</p> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
