ODBC

[Guest]

Howdy,
I'm have alittle trouble getting to grips with conneting my VB application I
constucted to a database which is on my network.

The problem is more to do with the fact that I'm only now learning VB after
3 years of Java.
I've looked at all the help guides with the visual studio but it may as well
be written in another language. If anyone knows where I mit find a step by
step guide to connecting correcty to a ODBC then I would be very greatful.

Opyuse,

The first step is the connection
The second step is the command or the dataadapter (which has the command in
it)

For the first step you have to use a connection string.
www.connectionstrings.com

However the last thing I would do is using ODBC in dotNet.

Use a provider that belongs to the Database or else OleDb

For simple help I would start in your case looking at this page.

I hope this helps?
