Can the DataGrid be used without a Data Control?

I'm working in VB 6.0 with Windows 7 as the OS. I have several finished projects, but am having trouble populating the DataGrid without a Data Control. I coul also use the ADO Data Control if I could fingure a ConnectionString the used "App Path" as a basis.
Currently, when my programs are installed, a specific Directory must be created. Is there any help for either of these issues? (My preference would be to use the Grid, but without the Data Control. Any help will be appreciated.
