I'm trying to connect to a database on a big corperate network (access db). I can not load my application and DB on a shared network drive as it does not have the correct permissions. How else can I try connecting to a db of some sort and allow users to insert/edit/delete rows? as it's a network drive I can not install a DB such as SQL Server on it.

View 1 RepliesI would like to know how could i connect my Visual Basic program to a database that can be opened to MS Access. My friend made a program that links to a database that opens in MS Access and when you open the database the inputted data are organized to their respective columns and rows.

View 8 RepliesI'm just getting started with VB.NET and SQL Server 2005. I have VS2008 installed on my machine. My SQL Server is in a domain that my machine is not a part of. Here's my code that I'm using to establish a connection:
Dim conn As New SqlConnection
conn.ConnectionString = "Server=SQLServer.hbug.lan;Initial Catalog=HUGRegistration;Trusted_Connection=True"
This code is part of a console app. that I'm using as a test. I'm just trying to set up a simple connection and then read data from the database. When I run this console app. in VS, the program hangs for a few seconds and then I get an error "SQLServerProvider has stopped working". My options are Debug or Close program. When I choose Close program, then an error pops up in my console window "Error: Unahandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I assume this error is spawning from not connecting to the database properly.

View 1 RepliesI am developing a Visual Basic .NET application to be used by the staff of a small training centre nearby. The front-end (UI, menus, etc.) will all be in VB .NET, and there will be a back-end database for storing all of the required data, such as student records and meeting information. What I would like to know is if it's possible to use a Microsoft Access database for this purpose, and have it accessible by all the staff in the centre (on the same network) at the same time. For example, would I be able to put the database in a shared network folder, and have a copy of the VB application on each PC that would all be able to read/edit/add to the database?

View 8 RepliesI have an access 2007 database that I have been developing a front end for in vb.NET for the past 3-4 weeks using vs2008 in a Windows 7 enviroment. Yesterday I started getting an error of "Your network access was interrupted. To continue close the database and then open it again." This happens in the Form Load on the line:
gotData = Me.LeaguesTableAdapter.Fill(Me.LeaguesSeasonsPlayersDataSet.Leagues)
I can go into access 2007 and view all the data fine and in vs2008 I can view the server explorer and browse the tables. However, under data sources if I try and preview the data, I get the same error message as before. What confuses me the most is that the database is not stored on a server is just stored in My Documents. It was origionally stored on my desktop pc but has been copied to the My Documents on my laptop. But as I mentioned previously it has been working fine and has just all of a sudden started throwing this exception by my Try Catch routine. FYI I have tried creating a new DB and importing the tables from the old DB but this hasn't solved the problem either.
