Anyone have a recommendation on the best way to simply display a 'list' of data to a user. The form would have a number of labels and textboxes filled in at the top portion of the form and the remainder of the form would contain a 'list' of related data. There could 0, 1 or many lines. This is to be used in an n tier app and therefore do not want to use a databound control. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Is the data simply for display, or does it need update capability? What sort of network structure do you have? If it simply for display, and if you have the network capability, I recommend simply developing a web page (IIS comes ASP capable, and VBScript should be a snap if you already know VB). This way you don't have to deploy the app to the users - just have them point their web browsers to the appropriate URL.
 
Yes - update capability MAY be required. Using a web page is not on option at this time. I was thinking of using a listview. Your thoughts.

Thanks
 
Assuming that the labels and textboxes at the top of the form represent one record of data, ten I would imagine the "list" at the bottom you are talking about would be some sort of identifying key information. You would then select from that list to determine which data record populates the record fields above, is that correct?
