Well, you've given us no details about what you want other than 'connect'. Besides, if you've already got the database done in Access and you've already written the VB code, what's the problem? You should have been testing the code against the database already...??
You can start with this[^] for a guide on how to connect to various data sources and use them.
Your connection string will probably look something like this:
Dim strConnect as String
strConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source=C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\dbFile.mdb"

Thanks so much for the reply. And to give you a bit of details on the simple program that i have created, well, i usually used ADO as my mediator between my program and my database (connection). The program is working fine. But when i try to create the .exe file and run it to my computer at work, it won't run since it tries to seach for msstdfmt.dll and i can't just install the dll file cause my computer has admin rights and i don't have access on it. So, i'm wondering if i could connect my program to my database without using ADO and just use codes to have it connected.

Well, from what I can find, msstdfmt.dll is the Data Format object library. You could TRY recoding the app to use DAO, but I think without that file, you're out of luck as Access installs it when you install Office and I think no matter how you go about getting to the database, the Jet Database engine still needs this dll to do it's work.

I want to be able to start my app (vb 6) by "throwing" a file on it (via sendto). When the app starts i want to catch the name of the file that triggered the application to start... Is this possible in vb 6...?
Or do I have to have my application running when "throwing" the file at it?
(I don't need to open or manipulate the file in any way: I just want to be able to catch the filename)
|

Simple, when that happens, your app gets launched with the full path and name of the file as it's command line parameter:
MyVBApp.exe C:\Documents and Settings\MyId\Desktop\TestFile.txt
All you have to do then is get the command line arguments from Command().

let say i got 2 forms, form1 and form2, how i going to show form2 when i click one button in form1??
just like form2.show in vb6!! but i cant find that in vb.net!!
|
|
|
|
|
In the button click event handler in form1 create (or obtain) an instance of form2.
MyForm2.Show()
or
MyForm2.ShowDialog()
depending on how you want it to work.

thank you for replying me!
but i dunno how to create an instance of form2 in form 1!!
|
|
|
|
|
Dim MyForm2 as Form2
MyForm2 = New Form2()
MyForm2.Show()
[I'm not a VB/VB.NET programmer so I may have the syntax slightly wrong]

Dim frm As New Form2()
frm.ShowDialog()
|
|
|
|
|
Say if you want to display form1 from form2.
In the form2 create the instance of form1
- dim frm1 as new form1()
and then
frm1.show or frm1.showdialog will display the form

I think you need ASP.NET web application for that not windows application unless you were to consider Web Service.

This is not possible in ASP.NET. You could inherit from the DataGrid control to and provide your own implementation (heavily augmented with a liberal amount of javaScript) to provide the functionality that you desire.
