Just trying to tie a legacy edit box to a database fieldYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm stumped and cannot find documentation on it anywhere. Help is vague as well.

I'm adding a field to the Account Profile tab in Accounts Detail. Just want to point it to the new database field, but all it does is display what I typed in the Text property in the edit box. I've tried it typed out as it would be from the SQL names of tables and fields, and I've tried it as it appears in the query builder using the user-friendly names, and then I tried both with an equal sign in front. I get the same result regardless. I've been using other controls' text values for reference. What am I missing?

TIA

-When you added the field to the form did you use the Data explorer?

-What does the DataPaths property contain?

-Is the new field in a 1-to-one table or a 1-to-many table?

Not familiar with the Data Explorer but ... Presto! Just needed to be pointed in the direction of the DataPaths property (which was blank).

Thanks for your help!

You don't type in the Text field. Look for the red bold property (normally text) and from the data tab of the explorer (f9) simply drag the required column to the editbox object and drop it over it - it will then bind itself to the text portion. Suggest you don't use the DataPaths to type in the field as it's easy to get it wrong - just drag/drop over the field.
