I have figured out how to bind the datagridview to data and fill tables
accordingly but is there a way of presenting the user of my application the
function of selecting a datafile to bind to?

In MSOffice, this goes File>Load..... and I would like a similar
functionality.

I'm sure this must be possible but I don't know why to look for help.

Thanks in advance
James

Think about it: when you're talking about "different data file" then all this
is about is "different connection string" (actually partially different only
- the part of it which defines Path...). You can write the path to user
configuration or to Registry (HKCU) and present appropriate interface to
users if this path is Null or doesn't exist, etc...
