Hi folks,
I am brand new to the treeview control. I followed the instruction from
Microsoft “How to use TreeView control Drag-and-Drop capabilities in Access
2000†to build the form and it worked great. When I change the data type
from autonumber and number to text for the fields of EmployeeID and ReportsTo
in Employees table, then I get the error message “Can’t add child: Data type
mismatch in criteria expression. Could any expert help me to fix the issue?
The code was enclosed for reference.
Thanks in advance.
Tim.
