Re: Search value by textbox from .mdb file

I really don't understand a thing about your question!

If you are asking for some help you really need to explain everything into details. We can't guess about what your goals are.....

Re: Search value by textbox from .mdb file

Do you already have your connection strings setup for the mdb? I will go with yes

are you sure that the search will only return one entry in the db? i would probably go with either a listbox or datagrid to display the returns.
this is a nice little tutorial for displaying data in a datagrid. http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/Upload...aGridSamp.aspx all you will need to do is change the query.

vb.net Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from Customers", myConnection)
'to this
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from Customers Where FirstName like " & me.txtsearch.text & "%", myConnection)
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from Customers", myConnection)
'to this
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from Customers Where FirstName like " & me.txtsearch.text & "%", myConnection)

Re: Search value by textbox from .mdb file

At least you are pointing to the right directions at this moment. The questions you ask seem to me you are now in the right 'developer-mode' :=)

Professor can be right but it's up to you where to open the connection. In most cases, and esspecially for .Net, the connections are made when you want to query, update, insert or delete something from the database and close it when ready. Anyways, you still can open the connection whenever you want & close it whenever you want.

In the case of using Access as a backend database, you're out of many options. You got to remember that Access is a file-based database which means that if you query some tables, all the tables in the query are pulled over to the client and after that they are being queried (client side). With a lot of data, you can experience a lot of performance problems.

Pointing to your question: leave all database actions within the button_click, as ProfessorPC suggested. Take a look at this post http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread172996.html and look for rapture's code examples on oledb connections etc....
Also ProfessorPC's example is a nice solution
