Connect To An Access Database In VB2008?
Sep 26, 2008
I'm still passed from VB6 to VB2008 and...I found it very changed!I've learned in few days how to use the most used commands, but I've got a big problem in connecting to an Access Database.I saw that we can connect to a database using:
- wizard connection
- manual connection
I think that using the Wizard everything is more cleaned and I can reuse the code in a simple way.So I tried the Wizard Connection, but all the guide and tutorial explain the connections using DataGrid. I don't want to show DataGrid. I've learned how to import data in listboxes (also in auto-complete mode) but I cannot understand how to work on data in the way I prefer.
- I've got a combobox with a list of data
- When I "change" the selection (combobox_SelectedIndexChanged) you have to load related data (from another table) in a ListBox (in which I can add other items without inserting them in the DB)
- Send all the data loaded in this fields (there are also other data) to create a record in the DB (like "Order of Product")

I'm currently designing a client application that connects to a SQL Server 2005 database. My app is being used to display data, allows users to run reports and stats on the data. It is being developed using VB2008. Within my VB2008 project, the connection string to the DB is made via SQLEXPRESS.
The road block that I'm running into right now is that it only allows me to connect to a local DB file (.mdf) only. I tried to connect to a different DB file on a server within the same network domain, and it generated the following error:
"The file "U:Data.mdf" is on a network path that is not supported for database files. An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file U:Data.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share." (where U: is a mapped network drive).
Below is the actual connection string in my code:
"SERVER=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=U:Data.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True"
The intention is to have the DB reside on a server, where there is another application that runs as a service to collect the data and then populates this DB. Then my app would just connect to the database, and allows users to run reports based on the data in the DB.
I heard that this is the limitation of SQLEXPRESS: it will not allow connection to a remote database. This is true? If so, is there anyway that I can get around this limitation?
The main reason that I chose SQLEXPRESS in the first place is that because of the licensing issue. The company that I work for do not want to make the users of our software app have to purchase additional license for the full-blown SQL Server Enterprise edition. I also heard that SQL Server Enterprise edition does allow you to connect to a remote DB (.mdf) file.

I'm trying to create a simple vb project (using Visual Studio Ultimate) that will connect to my Access Database (the database consists of regular data and jpeg images) on my desktop and perform a simple query. I have looked at multiple tutorials on how to do this but I can't seem to get it to work. For starter, I don't even know what project to select. Usually, I just go with the Windows Forms Application.

I have connected the database itself without much issue but i want to be able to edit, add and eventually delete from the database using Visual basic interface. This is for an A Level computing course that i teach, i remember a long time ago when i did the course this was fairly simple to do however i cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it at the moment.

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:myFoldermyAccess2010file.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;
so if i want to make sure this works on any computer, should i just add the reference to:

I have this subroutine setup to connect to a MS Access database:
Public Sub MakeDBConnection(ByVal source As String)
Try
cn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & source & ";")
[Code]....
It is in a module, and any function that uses it in the module it works with, however, when I try and use it from Main.vb (my main form) it doesn't seem to do anything, as any tries with executing SQL queries come back with an error saying I must initialize the connection.
I have tried setting all variables it uses to Public, but it doesn't work. Maybe I need to return something? I don't know.
