Objective :

On completion of this period, you would be

able to:
 Know about Visual Data Manager

CCP603.19 2
Structure Of The Period :

 Visual Data Manager

 Entering Data
 Connecting the table to the form

CCP603.19 3
Recap :
 VisData is an application that was created
using Visual Basic 5.0
 It is useful to create/open Databases in
MS-Access, dBase, Paradox, FoxPro, etc,.
 New tables can be created by right clicking
on the properties option

CCP603.19 4
Visual Data Manager (VisData):

 Visual Data Manager is a useful Add-in tool

in main menu to create databases in MS-
Access
 In continuation to the previous session, we
will now use the Database created already,
i.e., ‘GPT’
 To open this database, select File → Open
→ Database → Microsoft Access

CCP603.19 5
Visual Data Manager (VisData):

 In the open database dialogue box, select

the GPT.mdb file and click OK
 The selected database file is loaded into
Visual Data Manager with all the tables in it
 Now, it will show the table ‘MARKS’ with all
the fields created by us

CCP603.19 6
Entering Data :
 To enter data into the ‘MARKS’ table,
right click on it and select ‘open’
 A new dynaset window is displayed as
shown below:

Data entered in ‘MARKS’ table Fig - 3

CCP603.19 10
Connecting the table to the form :

 To connect this table to the form, a data

control can be used
 The procedure to connect tables to the
form through a data control is already
practiced by you
 The same procedure can be adopted here
taking into account the location of the
‘GPT.mdb’ file

CCP603.19 11
Summary :
 Visual Data Manager can be used to open
existing databases in MS-Access
 To enter the data in table, right click on the
table and select ‘Open’
 To enter a new record, select ‘Add’ button
 To save the record, select ‘Update’ button
