ADO Connection

[Greg Horwood]

Dear All,

I have already created an Access application, which I now wish to port to a
VB platform. My question is: Is Visual Basic the right vehicle to perform
this function (I normally use VC++)? If so, is there a link somewhere which
fully explains the methodology involved in connecting to a database using VB
(latest version).

Any help really appreciated.

Thanks

Greg

Hi Greg,

There's a website with examples of all kinds of vb connections:
http://www.able-consulting.com/ado_conn.htm

But note that you are here at the wrong ng - this is a vb .net ng.
