Treeview Control In Access 97

If you want to use a treeview control in Access 97, what does it look like ?

Figure 1 : This is the Treeview control for visual basic 5.

The information shown in figure 1 is drawn from 2 different datasources. The top of the heirachy is 2 fields from a consolidation query

Products and Count of rows

The second level is the detail rows from the original table where the link is on the product code. A number of fields are displayed here. The display is not really that great for this sort of table data but used wisely could be very informative.

If you think that you need this control, you need to download the Access 97 treeview wizard. Follow the instructions from this page to get the download. Without the wizard, this control is hard to setup. Here are the notes from the Microsoft download form.

"The WzTreevw.mde file is a Treeview Control Wizard for Microsoft Access 97. When you insert a Treeview Control on your form with this wizard installed, the wizard will guide you through configuring the Treeview Control. The appearance of the Treeview Control Wizard is similar to that of the Data Outline Control Wizard in Microsoft Access 7.0. The functionality of the Treeview Control is similar to that of the Data Outline Control in earlier versions of Microsoft Access. NOTE: The TreeView Control Wizard requires that you have the TreeView ActiveX Control, which is included with the Microsoft Office 97 Developer Edition Tools."

You may also need to download the registration tool from the same Access page. Before you get to carried away with this tool, you must test the installation of this tool on your clients databases.
