SYMPTOMS
When you add a data-aware (bound) control to a UserForm, the DataSource
property is not available to link the bound control to a Data control.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you use any of the following controls:
DBGrid
DBListBox
DBCombo
MSFlexGrid
WORKAROUND
You must use the DataSource property to bind a data source to a control.
Because the DataSource property is not an available property, you cannot
bind the control to a data source. To workaround this problem, use Visual
Basic for Applications commands to populate the controls that are listed in
this article. For additional information, please see the following articles
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
When you install the Enterprise Edition of Visual Basic version 5.0, the
Microsoft RemoteData control, version 2.0, becomes an additional control
that you can add to the list of available controls for the Visual Basic for
Applications control Toolbox.
Without a RemoteData control, a Data control or equivalent data-aware
controls on a form cannot automatically access data. The RemoteData
and Data controls are examples of DataSource controls. You can perform
most remote data access operations using the DataSource controls without
writing any code at all. Data-aware controls that are bound to a DataSource
control automatically display data from one or more columns for the current
row or, in some cases, for a set of rows on either side of the current row.
To bind a data-aware (bound) control to a field in a database at run time,
you use the Properties window to specify a Data control in the DataSource
property at design time.
NOTE: The DataSource property setting is not available at run time.
