Hi,

Can anyone recommend good tutorials,ebooks or other resources for ms access
2007 manipulation in vb.net 2008?

There's plenty of tutorials for manipulating older access databases (*.mdb)
which all seem very straight forward, I would appreciate if anyone can
advise if working with access 2007 is a different kettle of fish over
previous versions?

I'm at the planning stage at the moment and deciding which version of access
to use.

Thanks
Rob

I think you need to differentiate between a
JET database
and the Microsoft Access FrontEnd.

As previously stated, if you're using the .mdb file without the Access
Frontend, then using the
Jet 4.0 OleDB provider
will accomplish what you need.

I have some basic samples here in this downloadable example:

My samples rely on the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data library.
