Fairly new to VB, can anyone offer a link to a tutorial, walkthrough etc? Typically I find the documentation helpful, however, in this instance (partially due to being semi-unfamiliar with VB) I'm not getting much useful out of it. Even a good starter book would be welcome.

Thanks,

Hi Joe,

The resource kit is a good resource, you have to change the
connectionstrings for it and as well everywhere where is written
SQLClient.SQL to change in OleDb.OleDB however than it will go.

On the otherhand you can use to learn it with MSDE and than in your real
programs use that OleDb.OleDb, in the source program are that the only
differencens as far as I know.

And if you have problems installing the resource kit

I hope it helps,
