Hello All,
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
I'm attempting to learn VB.net with the goal of creating the front end
for a database. I am quite comfortable with Access and wanted to write the
front end for an Access database (Jet).
The texts that I've purchased all show how to connect to an Access Database
(through JET) but only show how to retrieve a dataset or group of records,
none show how to add, update or delete records using JET. All these same
texts, in the following chapter, then show how to connect to, retrieve, add,
update and delete records using MDSE or SQL server.
Problem is, as stated, I'm comfortable with Access (and JET) but I don't
have the first clue at using MSDE or SQL Server (not to mention that I can't
afford SQL Server) Through additional reading, I've heard that I can
"Upsize" my Access database to be used on MSDE, but again my lack of
knowlege of MSDE is what scares me.
Is it possible to add, update and delete records from an Access Database
using JET through VB.net?
If anyone could suggest any texts regarding this question, I'd greatly
appreciate it. Also suggested reading on MSDE would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Mike
