Hi, I am currently using Visual Basic from Microsoft Visual Studio 2003
..NET. I would like to create an ADO.NET connection to a local Access
database. Any pointers or helpful informational sites would be much
appreciated :)

My main questions are:

Do I need to add the OleDbDataAdapter and OleDbConnection objects from
the data portion of the tool box? If so how do I get it to connect to a
local (on my local harddrive) access database? When I have tried, I
have right clicked the OleDbDataAdapter and gone to configure data
adapter then I click New Connection. I'm not sure what to put in the
fields to get it to connect to the database.

If not, i've read about using some sort of connection string. (same
problem again. not sure what the connection string is for a local
database)
