I don't know about using VB controls, but why not use Access's ActiveX properties directly? I've attached a sample VI. Personally I find the SQL Toolkit to be a more effecient way of connecting to databases.
I agree with Dennis. SQL is the way to go when programming databases. It is the standard (as in ANSI standard) programming language for DB's and learning all those activeX commands won't help if your company starts using a different DB system.
