>>Hey! I didn't know I could drop the data control too. I guess I listen to MSDN too much :) My apps don't have much use for this type of control. Thanks.

I'm a VB newbie alright. According to the samples on the MS datagrid, you need the DC to bind the grid to ADO. So that's what I've been doing, even though I don't show it in my forms. But thanks for the interview tip, I may be needing it.
