Retrieves all entries from a database and populates a listbox. Eg first column in a database is userName, this will fill the list style combo
VBcoders
'Usage:
'replace initializeConnection, closeConnection, initializeRecSet and killRecSet 'with calls to your database connection, disconnection, recordset setup and recordset close functions
'rssd is the name of the recordset - change this to the name of your recordset
'collectreference is the column of the databse which is cycled to populate the list.
'zero is column one, 1 is column two etc,
Public Function populateList(objectRef As Object, tableName As String, collectReference As Integer) As Integer
On Error Resume Next
Dim intUsers As Integer
Dim count As Integer
' where objectReference is the formname.comboboxname.
'frmEditAccount.cmbEditAcc.Clear
objectRef.Clear
resultCode = initializeConnection(dataSource)
If resultCode <> 0 Then MsgBox "error: connection - returned from function: initializeConnection(from populateList) with return value " & CStr(resultCode)
resultCode = initializeRecSet
rsSD.Source = "SELECT * FROM " & tableName
rsSD.Open
intUsers = rsSD.RecordCount
If count < rsSD.RecordCount Then
While count < rsSD.RecordCount
objectRef.AddItem (rsSD.Collect(collectReference))
count = count + 1
rsSD.MoveNext
Wend
End If
resultCode = killRecSet
resultCode = closeConnection(dataSource)
End Function
