What is a Data Control?
The ADO data control presents a fast and easy way to create a bound form by providing built-in functions that define, navigate, display, add to, and update the records in a recordset. The resulting form makes it easy for a user (non-developer) to maintain records. Although the data control defines the recordset, you’ll still need a control for each field to automatically display the bound records.
Figure A
Figure A displays a simple form with several bound controls. The data control at the bottom of the form contains four navigation buttons. These buttons, from left to right, allow you to move to the first, previous, next, and last records in the form’s recordset. If you update a record, VB will save that change when you move to another record. If you close the form before moving to another record, VB won’t save changes you’ve made to the current record.

All you have to add is a tiny little "\" and there you have it. I suppose that you already figured it out by now but if not hope it helps. Also make sure that the database is in the same directory as the ".exe" or ".vbp"
Have fun coding!
Private Sub Form_Load()
dcPekerja.Visible = False
dcPekerja.ConnectionString = App.Path + "db1.mdb"
dcPekerja.RecordSource = "Select * from Table1;"
End Sub
You Should Have
Private Sub Form_Load()
dcPekerja.Visible = False
dcPekerja.ConnectionString = "\\db1.mdb"
dcPekerja.RecordSource = "Select * From Table1;"
End Sub
Or not
Well i supose you do have the database in the same directory with the application on the other computer

Private Sub Form_Load()
dcPekerja.Visible = False
dcPekerja.ConnectionString = App.Path + "db1.mdb"

Private Sub Form_Load()

Gave me insight, thanks
IMHO - The Data Control's sole usefullnes is when you literally want to scroll the data, one record at a time.javascript:smilie('
')
frown
I find it MUCH easier to roll my own ADO RS control that will search for the resocrd(s) I need...javascript:smilie('
stick out tongue javascript:smilie('
wink
This control should ONLY be used by total DB Newbies!!! (IMHO)javascript:smilie('
eek!
This thread is for discussions of ADO Data Control.
