What would be the best newsgroup in which to ask questions regarding how to
access an Access mdb from within VB.Net.

I've set up a small database of 3rd NF (I believe) and am having difficulty
getting the data to the form properly.  Need some guidance regarding bound
- vs - unbound data and related sql.

thanks //al

Al,

This one or Microsoft.dotnet.framework AdoNet

A pity for you maybe, in both you will  certainly meet me often when it is
about binding (although I am a little bit busy lately). Because that with
bindings "controls" are used, I would in your case prefer this newsgroup.

By the way, the official name for what you write as Access.mdb is a Jet
database engine, it is used by the office application Access but is free to
use for every developer with a kind of official Microsoft development tool.

Cor, an impertinent (and definitely off topic) question, if I may.  What is
your mother tongue?  You're writing from the Netherlands but your sentence
construct is eastern european ....  //al

Al,

If you try this than you know 50% of databinding.

Create a new project
Drag 2 textboxes on your form
Write this code in the load event
\\\
TextBox2.DataBindings.Add("Text", TextBox1, "Text")
///
Start typing in Textbox1.
Than after that in Textbox2.

You will than see exactly the behaviour of databinding.

I am definitly Dutch, maybe I write English in an East Europenan way.
I've been much in England, but that is long ago, it is not impossible that I
create now sentences in an East European way, just because Dutch has a real
free way of building sentences and I overdo it  at the moment to make it
structured. (I have much relatives in Eastern Europe by the way).

Cor

This group is fine, also there's microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet
and microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.databinding.

You could cross-post to all three groups -- post the message(s) to all
three groups at one time. If anyone answers in any of the groups, the
answer shows up in all the groups.

Please don't multi-post -- post the message(s) in the groups separately.

Robin S.
