Screen painter, matrix and DataBound problem...

Question

Hi
Using SAP BO 6.7 I have made a form with a matrix.
I have a usertable named @t_fingrp with a field named U_Nr.
In the matrix-->Columns properties I set Databound to "true", set tablename to "@t_fingrp" and set the alias to "U_Nr".
I then save the form as xml.
Then I load it in code using something like this:
XmlDocument XMLDoc1 = new XmlDocument();
XMLDoc1.Load(sXMLFile);
xml = XMLDoc1.InnerXml;
SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(ref xmlString);
This will make the form appear in SAP BO with the matrix and the columns but NO data.
What am I doing wrong??
TIA
Jan

The data doesn't appear automatically when you bind a matrix to a data source.  You have to populate the data source from the database, and then add each row to the matrix manually.
Below is a sample, hope it helps.
    'Populate the datasource
    Set sboDS = sboForm.DataSources.DBDataSources("OUSR")
    sboDS.Query
    'Add data to the matrix
    For lngCount = 0 To sboDS.Size - 1
        sboDS.Offset = lngCount
        sboMatrix.AddRow
    Next lngCount
