vb.net 2008 resources for ms access database manipulation?

[Rob W]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend good tutorials,ebooks or other resources for ms access
2007 manipulation in vb.net 2008?

There's plenty of tutorials for manipulating older access databases (*.mdb)
which all seem very straight forward, I would appreciate if anyone can
advise if working with access 2007 is a different kettle of fish over
previous versions?

I'm at the planning stage at the moment and deciding which version of access
to use.


Thanks
Rob

Have you already read the manual?

The frontend for database design is independent from the database
provider that you use for development in VB. Use the Jet 4.0 OleDB
provider to access the database and everything should work fine.

I think you need to differentiate between a
JET database
and the Microsoft Access FrontEnd.

As previously stated, if you're using the .mdb file without the Access
Frontend, then using the
Jet 4.0 OleDB provider
will accomplish what you need.

I have some basic samples here in this downloadable example:

My samples rely on the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data library.
