Step 1: Set Up the Visual Basic Project

In this scenario, it is assumed that you have Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0, ADO 2.5 or later, and the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Internet Publishing installed on your system. You will first create a new project, and then add some controls to the default form in the project.

To create an ADO project:

1. In Microsoft Visual Basic, create a new Standard EXE project.

2. From the Project menu, choose References.

3. Select "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.5 Library" and click OK.

To insert controls on the main form:

1. Add a ListBox control to Form1. Set its Name property to lstMain.

2. Add another ListBox control to Form1. Set its Name property to lstDetails.

3. Add a TextBox control to Form1. Set its Name property to txtDetails.
