connecting to existing access db

Thanks in advance! I have recently started migrating my MS-Acesss
front-end from the Access platform to a VB.net2003 front-end for more
flexibility. The access db is not split. I am having trouble figuring
out how to connect my Vb.net to the access database tables. I went
through the data connection menu tool, but I keep getting a variety of
errors... not found, etc. I put the complete path
"C:\MyComputer\AccessApps\MyProducts.mdb" but I'm stumped. Any clues?
Thanks! Brian

Thanks! I got a successful attachment now to my access database, but
I'm a vb.net newbie so another question: I placed a combo box on a new
form and opened the Properties box to set the data source for the combo
and couldn't figure out a way under "Data" to set the table source. I'm
used to the Properties system in Access but I'm still learning the
Front-End VB.net architecture. Any more clues would be helpful. Thanks
again! Brian
