Hi

Im new to VB. In delphi it was simple to read a mdb file
I added an "ado query" and a table. Linked them together.
The code i used was

ado.active := false
ado.sql.text := "select * from table"
ado.active := true

It was 3 lines of code to read a database and put it into a table.

Is there no simple method like this to open a mdb file in vb?

If you look back at your delphi work it wasn't quite that simple - you had to specify the DB, and set up a connection as well.
It is the same with VB:

Using con As New SqlConnection(strConnect)
	con.Open()
	Using da As New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM myTable", con)
		Dim dt As New DataTable()
		da.Fill(dt)
		myDataGridView.DataSource = dt
	End Using
End Using

That not only fills a table, but also displays it as well...
