Cannot Create New Database Connection in VB.net

[Josh]

Hello

I am new to the database stuff in VB.net but have been having some problems setting up a new database connection on my home computer. This is what is happening, i go to add a new database connection in a new project by going to the data tab and then double clicking on the OleDbDataAdaptor button. I click the "Next" button at the bottom of the page to start the new DB access process. However, when i click on the "New Database" button nothing happens. I have done this without problem on othre computers so i have pretty much narrowed it down to somethin on my computer. What could be causing this? Any help is appreciated.

1) Try to check if Dataconnection is properly set

2) Try SQLDataAdaptor

3) Try to repair installation of visual Studio.

i tried to see if the dataconnection was properly set but it will not let me add any databases to the connection. Could there may be a problem in the ODBC? I have the same problem when trying to add an SQLDataAdaptor too. Tried the repair installation of Visual Studio as well but that did not work either.
