You want a catalog of things that can be ordered in one form and you want a order form of things ordered. You want to add rows to the latter from the former as the user picks them off the former? Well you have to use code to create each row on the cust form add the controls of teh row to Forms.Controls which is th elist of controls on the form and presumeably redraw the customer form. You would need to provide a public function on the cust form that allowed the products form to tell the cust form the details of a product an dthen the cust form would build the new row.

let me make it clear. What i wanted is to display the productName and price on the Custform when the user selected the specific product from the datagrid in Searchform. Of course it can display more than 1 products if the user select more products. It will total up the price when the user click on TotalButton. What control should i used to for this purpose?? Thank viv

Hello vivsm. I assume you're new to the world of database programming. Well you're on the right track with .NET. ADO.NET which is a part of the .NET Framework offers so many ways for you to manipulate your database - too many that it would require an entire forum for its discussion. Likewise your question is also too broad. Just explore this site and search for topics like ADO.NET  data binding database programming; in other words you have to learn first by yourself and later on if there are things that you really don't understand then it's time to post in forums like this. You should post specific questions so that we wont be having a hard time answering you. Anyways happy programming.
