PRB: Data Control Does Not Work on MDI Forms

MORE INFORMATION

In earlier version of Visual Basic, the Data control was used on MDI forms by placing it on the PictureBox control. In Visual Basic 5.0, the Align property has been added to the Data control so that the PictureBox is no longer required. However, the Data control does not function on MDI forms regardless of whether the PictureBox control is used or not.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start Visual Basic and create a new Standard EXE. Form1 is created by default.
2. From the Project menu, select Add MDI Form.
3. Add a Data control to MDIForm1 and set the following properties:

      DatabaseName = "C:\Program Files\DevStudio\VB\Biblio.mdb"
      RecordSource = "Authors"
   						

4. From the Project menu, select Project Properties, and change the Startup Object to MDIForm1.
5. Run the project and note that the Data control is not functional.
