    <p>I've got six text boxes, and as long as one has valid input in it I want my program to go ahead with import code. Problem is I don't know what the most efficient way to do it is. The two alternatives I've come up with thus far are as follows:</p> <p>Version 1:</p> <pre><code> //if no paths are specified the user is shown an error and the program //will do nothing if ((txtForecastFTE.Text.Length != 0) || (txtActualFTE.Text.Length != 0) || (txtForecastAHT.Text.Length != 0) || (txtActualAHT.Text.Length != 0) || (txtForecastVolume.Text.Length != 0) || (txtActualVolume.Text.Length != 0)) { if (txtForecastFTE.Text.Length != 0) { //import code }//end if if (txtActualFTE.Text.Length != 0) { //import code }//end if if (txtForecastAHT.Text.Length != 0) { //import code }//end if if (txtActualAHT.Text.Length != 0) { //import code }//end if if (txtForecastVolume.Text.Length != 0) { //import code }//end if if (txtActualVolume.Text.Length != 0) { //import code }//end if }//end if else { MessageBox.Show("You must enter the path for at least one file."); }//end if-else }//end import code </code></pre> <p>Version 2:</p> <pre><code> //if no paths are specified the user is shown an error and the program //will do nothing if (txtForecastFTE.Text.Length != 0) { pathTrue = true; //import code }//end if if (txtActualFTE.Text.Length != 0) { pathTrue = true; //import code }//end if if (txtForecastAHT.Text.Length != 0) { pathTrue = true; //import code }//end if if (txtActualAHT.Text.Length != 0) { pathTrue = true; //import code }//end if if (txtForecastVolume.Text.Length != 0) { pathTrue = true; //import code }//end if if (txtActualVolume.Text.Length != 0) { pathTrue = true; //import code }//end if if (!pathTrue) { MessageBox.Show("You must enter the path for at least one file."); }//end if }//end import code </code></pre> <p>Obviously I'll add further validation (try-catch) to each file import section, but this is the basic gist.</p> <p>Any help appreciated :) If there are other options which would be more efficient than either of the two versions supplied please don't hesitate to put it forward. Thanks guys.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
