2010 Grid Controls

[cable]

We've got an old 97 app that used the MSFlexGrid control that we're trying to convert to 2010.

Don't seem to able to use OCX's in 2010 at all? Just get 'app doesn't support this ActiveX control'.

So wondering what people use now a days?

And in case someone has a alternative design idea, here's what its currently used for:

There's a set of combo boxes to provide search critera, this critera forms part of a dynamicaly built sql, that populates a flexgrid. The user can click in the grid, this causes a 2nd flexgrid to be populated with child items. The user can double-click either grid to launch a filtered form.

So it's basically a master-detail search form. I didn't get very far trying to use subforms as replacements though.

Is indeed a while ago but possibly for others who are interested in the topic. Look at the controll of 10tec.com .This kills with its possibilities and is extremely fast. Requires a training, but we use it everywhere where a grid is eligible. A very powerful tool and the developer has great support

Hello Pat, Nevertheless, 10Tec iGrid offers much more options and flexibility than Access's SubForms. We use these and do not want to miss them.
