Why is your school teaching VB6 ? It's been obsolete for close to a decade, and was always rubbish. You should deal with your course, then forget as much VB6 as you can, it's actually better for you to learn real languages without VB6, than to know VB6 first.

The SQL to detach a database can be executed by the same code that runs any other SQL, AFAIK. That's true in all the languages I've used.

Solution 2

this is the format:

sp_detach_db [ @dbname = ] 'dbname'
[ , [ @skipchecks = ] 'skipchecks' ]

& an example:

EXEC sp_detach_db 'pubs', 'false'

who can say, some day vb6 will return with a vengeance in the way perl did...
