I have a sring with a stored SQL statement in it. I know I can do it, I just cant seem to figure out how to set the forms recordset equal to that string. Anyhelp anyone could give would be overly appreciated.

If you do not have ADODC control on the tool box, then right click add components and select microsoft ado control 2.7
Its not in my tool box, and when I went to 'more controls' and looked for it, it wasnt there. There were 900 others from microsoft, but none called microsoft ado control 2.7. Could it possibly be called something different?
I feel like such an idiot sometimes. I feel like this is really simple, and im just stupid for not getting it.
I understand I need to add an ADODC, by the way, is that supposed to be ADODB, to something, but am I adding it to my form, or to my VB code?
If it is to my form, I do not have that control, and can not find that control, can you give me a direction to find it?
If it is in the code, I have no idea how to use it. I have one example, but am not sure if it is the correct thing or not. It apparently has it defined as: Dim cnn as ADODB.connection. Is that a propper declaration? Is that what you are telling me to add?
if so, all I need to do is, with above declaration, is cnn.recordsource = query?
I know I'm starting to sound like a pain in the ass for not getting this, and I'm sorry, but I need to understand this.
now I see where the trainwreck is comeing into play. I am using VBA, which means that I have Access forms, and we misunderstood eachother and you thought I was actualy using a VB compiler.
I'm using Access with VBA code. I see what you were getting at, and i see why it works in VB, but I cant add one of those controls into Access, ... atleast not that I know of.
Thank you for all the work you put into that reply though, I appreciate it ...
Ok, my search function,which worked fine at the end of last week, has stoped working all together. attached is the code i'm useing, but when you click the button all it does is set the recordsource for the form, but it has no records. If you view it in datasheet view there is nothing. But the thing that ticks me off is that if you go into the query builder from the form, and you view the query in datasheet view, it is displayed correctly.
Meaning the code builds the query correctly, but somewhere during the implimentation things are getting all mucked up. What I don't understand though is why, without being altered or even viewed since friday, how it stoped working. If anyone can see any big glitches in the code, or anything else that would keep it from running I would appreciate some advice.
Oh, and on the form the 4 text boxes have control source that come from the query. They just dont display anything at all.
thats it, I'm killing my boss. He went in and thought it was supposed to work useing filters, which its not, and set a filter on the form w/o telling me about it. So I just wasted 2 1/2 hours cus he doesnt know how to ask simple questions. I know the same could be said about me not asking... but hes not supposed to be playing with the form designs anyway. Well, NM, i guess I got this one figured out on my own.
