Copy specific column from 1 datagridview and automatically load it in another

[EDN Admin]

I am creating a PC VB.Net application to program an EEPROM on an alarm system I am building. I have 2 datagridviews being filled from different tables in an Access Database. For this example, theyre called DataGridView1 and DataGridView2.​

In DataGridView1 there are three columns with the properties stated:​

1. Location (hidden column)​

2. Description (read only)​

3. Data (64 characters max)​

​

In DataGridView2 I have the following columns:​

1. SAFE Address​

2. Device Number​

3. Zone​

But, in DataGridView 2 I want a fourth column to be the data column from DataGridView1, just for display purposes because it makes it easier to identify the device details in the grid.​

I initially thought it was possible to use different data sources for different columns, but I cannot even find examples of this, or any ways to just get a specific column from this different source.​

I am very new to VB and this is a steep learning curve! I have tried to use this example but havent had any luck in even understanding it.​

Looking for working code if anyone can provide?​
