When you are on the active window you can send your data to combobox.

How do I use CDatabase and CRecordset to return a list of tables in a given database. I am connecting sucessfully to a MySQL server on a unix machine. I know this because I can pass a SELECT * FROM query and get a populated recordset in return.....however when I try "SHOW TABLES FROM db_name" I get an assertion error.
Thanks.

What line of what file is asserting?

Class CSDITest1Doc creates a new instance of a dialog class. Works OK. Example below:
CTestDlg* aDlg = new CTestDlg(); //code is in CSDITest1Doc
From class CSDITest1Doc I can execute functions of the new CTestDlg. For example, LoadMessage() is a function of CTestDlg. Works OK. Example below:
aDlg->LoadMessage(); //this code is in CSDITest1Doc
Sometimes I want to alert CSDITest1Doc of something that happens in CTestDlg. Sometimes I want CTestDlg to ask for data from CSDITest1Doc. Suppose XYZ() is a function of CSDITest1Doc. How do I execute a XYZ()of CSDITest1Doc from CTestDlg?

One way is to pass a CSDITest1Doc pointer to the CTestDlg instance.

I tried this, but found I didn't really know what to load into the pointer. In CSDITest1Doc I entered the following code. I figured if I could get the pointer aDoc loaded with the address of the instance of CSDITest1Doc, I could call a function from CTestDlg, and use that to pass the pointer to CTestDlg.
CSDITest1Doc* aDoc;<br />
aDoc = ???????
Is this a correct approach?
Thanks

No. Try:
CTestDlg* aDlg = new CTestDlg(this); Remember to create an appropriate CTestDlg constructor.

Re: Entering Negative values in MSVS 6.0 Edit dialogs.
Has anyone found a solution or work around for the problem with entering a “negative” value in an Edit-Control Dialog box?
When a ‘int type’ is specified and validation is used or not, the same “Enter a Number Error” dialog is displayed when the first entry is the “ - “ key! 
I am aware of one work around first enter the number, then use HOME key, and then enter the – key, but this is very clumsy and many users would not know to use this.

What is an "MSVS 6.0 Edit dialog"? You mean like where you enter the number of spaces to use for a Tab? Why would you put a negative number in there?

MSVS 6.0 is Microsoft Visual Studio ver 6.0 for C++/MFC.
The Edit box is a Dialog Edit box where one can enter value into.

Because "-" is not a numeric character. Use a masked edit control.

Hey! I was fishing in here and had not bagged my limit .... yet!

Thank for the reply David,
Would you please explain 'masked edit control' and provide sample perhaps? 
This is an Edit box in a Dialog base application, and made via the Resource Editor.

Create a class derived from CEdit, let us call it CIntEdit, and handle WM_CHAR message:
void CIntEdit::OnChar(UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags)
{
//Allowed characters
CString numeric = "-0123456789.";
if (numeric.Find(nChar) != -1)
CEdit::OnChar(nChar, nRepCnt, nFlags);
}
This will only accept integer values.
Pierre.

Lets see if I can describe this clearly without writing a book. I have a DAO process in place that is updating one or more records for a given table. During this process when a certain value change or event occurs I make a call to a stored procedure to update a value (in a different table) thru ADO. When all the editing is done and the user exits the dialog, I get the following DAOexception message; The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data...
1) Is there a way I can let DAO know that my ADO call is okay to run?
2) What is happening under the hood? Are the DAO changes queued up and made at the end? If so, may these be accessed so the ADO call may be performed after DAO is happy(changes commited)?
Thank you.

I'm just guessing here.... your using MS Access? You are using two different drivers (Jet vs. ADO[OLE DB... ODBC... whatever]) so access sees two different users. Access is not reliable as a multi-user database.
Suggestion: switch to the SQL Desktop database product, I don't know what the name is this hour, and only use a single driver to access it.

Its a very complicated system, and it uses ACCESS linked thru to MS SQL Server. My understanding is that we are planning a switch to SQL Desktop, but getting there will be a lengthy process (and outside of my control/responsibilities).
Is there a way to call a stored proc (passing parameters) using DAO? And can it be performed while the other DAO process is active?

I don't know, I haven't used DAO for like 6 or 7 years now, it's just a bad idea. My memory is that DAO is for JET. JET does not have stored procedures it has "Queries". My memory is that the queries can have parameters and you can call them from DAO. But it's still a bad idea here's why:
If it works, do it

(and it might work again )
(although, admitedly, that is an assumption )
