    string sqlString = "SELECT * FROM categories INNER JOIN products ON categories.categoryid = products.categoryid ORDER BY products.categoryid, products.productid";    
    m_cnn = new OleDbConnection(m_cnnString);    
    OleDbCommand m_Cmd = new OleDbCommand(sqlString,m_cnn);    
    if(m_cnn.State == ConnectionState.Closed)    
    {        
        m_cnn.Open();    
    }    
        m_reader = m_Cmd.ExecuteReader();
