Hello,

I'm new to VB 8. But, I want to use VB to communicate with a database
containing, let's say, 15 fields. So, I've been reading chapter 18 of
the book "Microsoft Visual Basic 2005" and was wondering if you can
tell me what else I will have to do? I'm willing to use Access, but how
do I create the initial Access database? Should I refresh my memory on
how to use Access and create an initial database directly with Access?
And, then use VB to change the database?

Thank you,
Christopher Lusardi

Using complete Net it is impossible what you ask.

However this fullfils your answer.

Hai
You should be able to find some sample Access database files in the
system. Look under:
\\Program Files\MS Office\Office11\Samples for some sample database
files like the famous Northwind.mdb

Search for *.mdb otherwise.

Learn to create access database otherwise. Its worth the effort and it
is not difficult either.
