I need your suggestions and comments because I'm having problems in which database I will be using MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server.
Which database is easier to use? In terms of connecting the database to Visual Basic 2008
First let me statethat my VB skills are appalling. Havent touched it since VB3 Ok here is the scenario. we want to be able to give our first line support the ability to modify AD groups BUT WITHOUT giving the acess or powers in the AD console. I have written command line scripts to do this and it works fine. Un fortunately we have people that think that if it dont have a OK NEXT CANCEL button it aint Windows :(

View 5 RepliesI am attempting to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 from within Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. My connection string is as follows:
connection = New SqlConnection("Server=localhost;Database=greenapplication;User ID=WindowsID;Password=WindowsPassword")
I keep getting this exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException:Login failed for user 'WindowsID'.What am I doing wrong? Are there certain permissions that I have to set up?
I'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. When I try to open the DB from access it works fine, but when I try to run my Windows Form application from Visual Studio Connection String, I get a message that "Not a valid password".

I am a brand new user of MS Visual Basic 2005 Express and MS SQL Server 2005 Express. I have familiarized myself with both programs but have one extremely frustrating problem. Once I open SQL Server, I can not establish a database connection from Visual Basic using the Visual Basic Data Source Configuration Wizard (even if I close SQL Server). If I reboot and open Visual Basic first, I can then connect using the Visual Basic Data Source Configuration Wizard. But then I can not switch to SQL Server and open the database (even if I close Visual Basic). Again, I must reboot to open the database in SQL Server.I suspect there is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed, but I can not find it?

View 3 RepliesI have a form that contains a Textbox + Three sets of radiobuttons.
my project idea is to store in any database the values selected or entered by the user.
Textbox goes Name.
First set of radiobuttons are the job position - manager - superviser etc....
Second set "" "" the Period (Shift)- day - nite
Third set "" "" The Condition - part-time - full-time
Anyway, my problem is how to insert those values into a database, something very simple such as MSAccess (is possible?)
I want to make a POS System but my problem is can I compile the database so that when I create an installer for the system and install it in other PCs, they won't require MS SQL Server(just the .NET framework) to be installed. Is that possible?.. or I have Install MS SQL Server for every PC?

View 4 Repliesi seem to have a problem when i try to update a certain record in an Access 2007 Database. I have a small Access 2007 database with 1 table which has 3 Columns and several records. The 3 columns are RecordNumber (Primary Key and it is autonumber), FirstName(text) and LastName(text). What i am trying to do in VB 2008 is implement a search form which when you find a record you can update it. I do not have any problems with the search, but i cannot seem to edit any other record than the first one. For example i search for John which exists, if that record is the 3rd record when i try to edit it whatever changes i make (for example change that to James), the changes i make are made to the first record and not the current one. I tried a lot of things but nothing works, here is my code:

Iam developing a Windows application using Visual Basic 2008 with a SQL Server database. Throughout the program I give the user as many options as possible and have no problem with either the database or the windows forms. The program does not initially require a Login and I want toprovide the User with the opportunity to add a Login to the system. The default Login form is perfectly satisfactory.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to program the change sothat the Login from isopens the program rather then th form designated as the StartUp form. this forum I am able to prgrammatically change the form but I can't figure out how to make the requirement a permanent factor. I tried using a Constant, but if the User wants to change, you can't change the constant. Its an apparantly simple yes/no situation but if I set a varable to yes and then change it to no the next time the program runs, the change will be lost.
In a while loop, I am writing a progressively increasing integer value (between 0 and 100) to the Value attribute of a ProgressBar control, when it disappears from the window in which it resides. I have verified at the time that it disappears that the Min is 0, Max is 100, and Value is a valid integer in range.

I am very new to Visual Studio Application Development. I'm mostly a DB guy. I used Visual Studio as a Report Designer, not much of an .Net guy though I can understand it. I am now asked to create a .net application and I'm trying to create a "Hello World" starter app. I opened my Visual Studio, click File-New Project and all I see is Business Intelligence Projects and Other Project Types. My step-by-step guide says choose Visual Basic, Windows Forms Application. But I can't see it as an option.
