I've built my program a database in Access 2010. Works very nice. But I've had a thought. When my program is compiled and I give it out to users. Will those users need a copy of Microsoft Access to use my program. If so, How could I make it so that no install of Access is needed.
View 3 RepliesI coded a program to access a Microsoft Access 2010 database. The program is written using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. I get the error message that the database I'm trying to access is in an invalid format. look at the code below to see what I missed. The error is in the datasource statement.

I am trying to import data from an access database to a access database that my project uses I am having problems with combo box fields in the database with the data. I want to import what is displayed instead of the numerical key value. Example: The combo box displays employee names but the value stored is the key value from the employee table so instead of importing John Doe it imports 2 is there a way to make the actual name instead of the number?

I am using the code shown below to compare two Access databases with two fields each and write the results to a third Access database.

I'm using VS 2010, and I did a project using VB and a database in Access. The problem is that when I try to put that "application" on other computers, sometimes, is not working. I thought it can be because on these computers they don't have access, but on one computer, is running another app which is using Access and there is no Access installed. How can I check if my application requires Access to be installed or not?
Here is a example of how I did the connection:
Public AccessOLEDBConnString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & myfullpath & ";Jet OLEDB:Database Password=password"
Function getConnection() As OleDb.OleDbConnection

And when I want to have access at the data I'm doing like this:
dim conn as Oledb.OledbConnection
dim sql as string
dim ds as Dataset

View 1 RepliesI'm new to Visual Basic. I came across a random number generator tutorial. Got it working fine and then I thought, Is there a way to get it to access a database Here's the thing
1. Generate the random number.
2. looks at the database and finds the corresponding id number.
3. Takes the field for that number and enters it into a text field in the program.
So for example the number generated is 32. Then the program looks at the database and looks for id number 32. then takes the text in line 32 and enters it into a textbox in the program.Now I have my database and the program. But just can't seam to figure out how to get the two connected like I want. I have looked and searched but have found nothing like it I am using Visual Basic 2010 and Access 2007.
I've tested an application (one that I'm developing) that utilizes MS Access database (.accdb) on a backup machine. And I consistently get an unhandled exception error saying 'The Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine. I suppose I get this error because the backup machine doesn't have a driver or whatever to read the Access database file. Reading
this topic titled "How to deploy VB 2010 application as a standalone without MS Access", I understand that I can just specify a prerequisite for this component (driver or whatever...) in the project designer window in reference to this page. I wonder if there is a simpler way of delivering the database component to users? Or should I abandon the Access database and use a different one for easier accessibility?
update access database from vb 2010?
[Code]...
I just started learning VB 2010 through a book. I'm learning vb to design a program which can manage customers of a small company as a homework. It'll store data (Company Name, Phone N. and Adress) at an Access Database. (I'm using Access 2007)
I have a little background with programming but none with databases. According to the book there is no way I can delete, add or update a data from an Access Database without installing SQL Server or Express. But this program should work at a computer which may or may not have SQL server or MS Access (Any computer with Windows OS).
After a little digging only thing I could find was Walkthrough: Saving Data to a Database (Multiple Tables) from MSDN and did every step and at the end, I can delete or add rows and change values of the cells but cannot save them (when I click save, close the program and re-open it, changes are gone).
I don't get that how can I view all the data from database without SQL server but can't save changes to the database file without SQL Server.
Is there a way to do this without SQL Server? If so, can you give the right code for the MSDN Walkthrough's Save button? Or point me to a page where can i learn the right code?

I want to connect to a mdb file but i have never did that before. i don't know where to start. heard something about ado.net and some other things.
the file is a 2003 access file if i am not mistaken. and it is shared on network. so multiple users (not too many, max 50) will use it at same time. what is the best connection to use? i have to mention that i don't want to use data controls. i want to use sql commands to fetch data and manipulate data on the form controls myself. i know there are various connection ways like strings and adapters. not sure which one is better.
I don't know how to take input from user in sql statements, i'm learning from different sites so i don't know how to do it. Here's the code.
