Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

If you haven't already done so in this project, create a data source for the Mortgage Access database in the folder shown above.

Create a form called frmApplicant, and within this create a DataGridView to show mortgage applicants from the Person table:

Pat yourself on the back, and close down any open forms.
