Re: MultiValue Visual Basic

Using ODBC means using the actual MV databse (UV, D3, whatever), though.
What I've written (and what I'm wondering about, in case mine turns out to
be a total flop) is just for within VB; you don't even really need any
database connection for this. I just wanted to use Multivalued Dynamic
arrays in VB the way I'm used to in PICK.
