How can i link database from microsoft access 2003 with VB.NET? can i use anything from eg. Form1 and display them on Form2? thx u very much.

Hi,
This code is gonna connect to the Access database and load data into datagrid:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles MyBase.Load

Dim ConnString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Database Name.mdb"
Dim SQLString As String = "SELECT * FROM TableName"
Dim OleDBConn1 As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(ConnString)
Dim DataSet1 As New DataSet()
Dim OleDbDataAdapter1 As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(SQLString, OleDBConn1)
OleDBConn1.Open()
OleDbDataAdapter1.Fill(DataSet1, "TableName")
DataGridView1.DataSource = DataSet1.Tables("TableName")

End Sub

Hi:

I am newbie here. I keep getting this error most of the times. If any one of have come across it, please do share with me as to how you got rid of it.

error msg is as follows:

"visual studio cannot start debugging because the debug target (c:\....\filename.exe) is missing. Please build the project and retry r set the o/p path and assembly name properties to point the correct location of the target assembly"

Most of the times this message comes up. Sometimes 2 files would exist in the same folder but one would let me debug it but the other wont.

Thanks,
Kavitha.
