VB 2005 Express: Dynamic Database Application

7 New Member
I'm new to VB.net. !!
I'm trying to build a simple database application.
This is what is should do...

Display data from an access table but the data should be current (not an embedded dataset)
This read only app will be shared by multi-users.


IN summary, I want an application that looks up a table from access but it should reflect the current data in access db not old data.

Seems like once the app is published the dataset is static and locked in and not dynamic.

How do I solve this?

Ok, I feel so stupid. I found the answer myself.

You simply say no when the dialog box asks you if you want to store a local copy of the dataset. This forces the application to look at the connection every time the app starts.

I think this should have been the default setup in Microsoft, if it were then I could have avoided the confusion.
