VB.NET 2010 - Tracking MS Access databases and linking data

steveRRRRRRR asked:

HELP!

I am not a programmer per se, but have been using VB6 / VBA / Access for many years with plenty of success.

Trying to get to grips with VB2010 !!!

Basic gripe: I created a number of forms with datagridviews bound to a project datasource. They all work fine and update in Development mode. I have also included code to check my 2 tier access database and to re-link the tables on start-up.

However, there seems to be no way to update the project data sources to handle a deployed app running in a different directory.

I know VB.net is grown up compared to VB6, but surely this is an essential part of creating an app, and there must be a straightforward way of doing it..>>??

REALLY GRATEFUL for any suggestions, otherwise I'll ditch this product, and go back to the bad old stuff (VB6) that at least works. ;)

Ta, Steve
