This section applies only to the MFC ODBC classes. For information about OLE DB record views, see COleDBRecordView and Using OLE DB Record Views.

To support form-based data-access applications, the class library provides class CRecordView. A record view is a form view object whose controls are mapped directly to the field data members of a recordset object (and indirectly to the corresponding columns in a query result or table on the data source). Like its base class CFormView, CRecordView is based on a dialog template resource.

Forms are useful for a variety of data-access tasks:

• Entering data

• Performing read-only examination of data

• Updating data

The material in topics applies to both the ODBC-based and the DAO-based classes. Use CRecordView for ODBC and CDaoRecordView for DAO.

Topics include:

• Features of Record View Classes

• Data Exchange for Record Views

• Your Role in Working with a Record View

• Designing and Creating a Record View

• Using a Record View
