Which database is easier to use? In terms of connecting the database to Visual Basic 2008
Would like to know if it is possible to access a Primavera 6.2.1 database (.mdf) from VB 2008 Express. Would like to take advantage of the existing database, if possible.
It is easy enough to export to Excel and then develop an Access database, but I would like to avoid those steps.
Having a bit of a problem connecting to a 2010 access database. Im using the following connection string which works fine for earlier versions of access. Can anyone give me a pointer to where im going wrong. [Code]
View 16 RepliesI have a problem using my database in which I have a table with product names, codes, prices and information. I use the below method to get connected to my database and tables.
Dim dtCOP As New AmetailorDataSet.COPDataTable
Dim adapterCOP As New AmetailorDataSetTableAdapters.COPTableAdapter
adapterCOP.Fill(dtCOP)
But in one row, I have product descriptions so there should be sentences. I set the type of this row is Text in the database. When I use single numbers in the table, there is no problem. But if I write sentences (that is a must because it is product description) or even a single word, I get the below error on adapterCOP.Fill(dtCOP):
"Input string was not in a correct format.Couldn't store <(the written text in description)> in Description Column. Expected type is Decimal."
There is a richtextbox in my form that should show the product description when the product code is selected from a listbox available in my form.
first of all sorry if this is not the right place to post this question. yesterday i bought Microsoft visual studio 2008, so as to develo web application, then i installed it in my pc. after installing it in my pc, i have seen microsoft Sql Server 2005, in my start menu programs. wow that is nice, but now i want to create database and then connect it with visual studio 2008, so how can do that? this is my frist time to use sql server, so where can i create tables and databases? and how can i connect it with visual studio 2008?
View 2 RepliesMicrosoft Access 2007 A Students.mdb database file Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I was informed that one can connect to Access files with ease from the Express Edition and most of the tutorials on the internet also show this however I am encountering a problem.
I open Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition Start a new project, with a form, and then click on the Data window, and add new data sources from the Data menu.
I click on database. The problem starts with the data connection. I click New Connection Change the Data Source from Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 to Microsoft Access Database File and instead of then leading back to the other window (as happens on the tutorials for me to browse for the mdb file). Another window pops up asking me to Add a Connection.
It has the data source listed as Access and asks for a Connection String under the misc section. I type in
CODE:
When I click on Ok I get this error: Format of the initialization string does not conform to specification starting at index 0.
The Test connection button works and says connection success whether the Connection String field is empty or not but when I click OK it still gives me the same error. So I can't leave it blank either
So basically I can't connect to the Access database since I can't change the connection type and it won't just let me browse and add the file anyway.

View 10 RepliesI'm using an MS Access database which has password (database password, not a workgroup or smth). I'm using 13 characters - with no special signs- only letters.

Here is the scoop: I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords. Plan is to host this server so people can login to use the the application and verify they have a valid account. I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time. I also need the ability to add data to the database for users registering for the first time. The SQL server will need to be able to access the SQL Server databases remote via WAN.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to write a method in VB.net so that when I click a button it queries the database and returns all the values which match a textbox which is located next to the button. I have no idea how to do this, I assume in the onclick method for the button I will need to pull in the value from the textbox, connect to the database and display the results to a gridview?

I am a wannabe programmer but quite new, started with VB.net about 1 month ago.I write on this forum because It's the first time that I'm actually stuck. The problem is I cannot find a way to connect to SQL server database I have created and saved earlier on my HD using visual express 2010. I want to find a way to connect using code, not by click and drop. I just hope you won't find my issue too trivial to even answer it.The project is very simple, it just consists of a button that should connect to the db on click.[code]

I use VB.NET 2010 Express and Windows 7. Access is not installed.The code used to connect database password protected, is:
Public Class Form1
Dim cn As OleDb.OleDbConnection

The code is not working. I get this error: "Could not find installable ISAM".
NB: The error occurs only if the database is password protected!For unprotected database, code works without error.
My code is:

It works for a database without password. But for a database with password and the string: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:DBB.mdb;Jet OLDB:Database Password=xxx"

i'm fairly new to VB and am doing my second system through it. I am at the point where i want to link a combobox on my form to my access database so that when i click the dropdown arrow a list of surnames from the particular table in my access database appears.
[Code]...
First things first is this code remotely close to doing what i want it to do? I have to use an access database and i am familiar with this particular method of connecting to the database (sending any data to it is easy now). Secondly when the form opens (since the sub is called at load) i get the annoying old "object reference not set to an instance of an object" message.
