Visual Basic to get data from Access

[bluedevil23 via AccessMonster.com]

I'm working on a project and i have my forms built in VB and the database is
implemented in Access. I have trouble figuring out how to get VB to pull
the information from access. Any suggestions or help topics? Thanks

My some respondents may know stand-alone VB well and response here, I think
you may get more reponses from one of the VB newsgroups since you are only
use JET database to store the data, not Access.

Since there are so may versions of VB (VB6, VB.Net, VB 2005), it will be
easier for respondnets if you include the version of VB you use in your
post.

If you are using classic VB (ie. VB 6.0), make sure that you have the latest
service packs installed in order for some of the VB controls to be able to
access data from a JET 4 database.

Perhaps this link will be helpful to you...

First off, if you're pulling data from an MDB using VB, then you're
not using Access at all -- you're just using Jet.

Second, you're much more likely to get answers to VB questions
involving working with Jet in a VB-only newsgroup, rather than in an
Access newsgroup, as none of your questions are likely to involve
issues that Access programmers ever have to deal with.
