Hey Mark, thanks a lot! This is what finally worked! BTW, There is no table
in the query, it's just three tables joined in an SQL server 2000 view, so
the view IS the table, from what I understand. It's the only way I can see
to display data from 3 tables in a single datagrid row with no child table
controls.
adapter.Fill(tdsdata, "appsvw")
con.Close()
DataGrid1.DataSource = tdsdata
DataGrid1.DataMember = "appsvw"
