Dataset Question? Please Help

[Jeff Brown]

I have a MDI Program and several child windows.
On one child window a dataset is loaded with trailer_Num & Trailer_ID only

On another the dataset is loaded with trailer_Num, Trailer_Location and
several other fields.

My Datasets have been declared in each child Window, but when i change
windows teh correct dataset is not accessible, Do i need to make my datasets
in the MDI Parent and get ALL the field names? or do i generate several
datasets based on the same table (ie 1 for each Child)?

 

[Jeff Brown]

Basically ... where do i need to declare my datasets since each Child mdi
doesn't need to acces all fields? Do i declare a Dataset in the Parent MDI
and then access certain fields from it for each Child?

Jeff,
It better If child window maintains its own state, So
let each child window have its own dataset. Based on your
requirement U can decide as to who should load the data
into this dataset, either the container or the child
window.

Please mail be back for any clarifications
