dynamic visual basic form based on access database table
I am useing an access database table to populate some lists. I want to dynamicly add picture boxes that I use to seperate the list box as if lined based on how many records I have in the database. Basicly, I just need to know how to add a control by code. I don't want to have to place 100 picture boxes when I won't use but 20, but may in the future of the program when there are more entries in the populate database and may need 100. Thanks in advance.
