Can anyone recommend a book or source of info on how to use VB.NET with MS
ACCESS.
Visual Basic 5 and 6 had loads of such books describing how to carry out
all of the every day db activities but I cannot find much for VB.NET

Thanks

You'll probably have better luck looking through offerings from textbook
publishers than in the tech books, as most of the tech books tend toward SQL
(MSDE) database examples. As many academic institutions use Access as the
default learning database (zero administration), textbooks from Course
Technology (www.course.com), Prentice Hall (www.prenhall.com), etc. are more
likely to have examples of database applications that use Access. Most
publishers provide TOC information for their books and, often, amplifying
details.
 
Thanks for this but its not just Access its using VB.NET with
Access.Performing record navigation,addition,editing, deletion etc.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Check VB.NET textbook offerings and
look in the TOC for chapters on database programming. Many publishers will
provide detailed TOC's that will tell you what type of database is used in
the examples. If not, contact the publisher and ask.
 
Hi,
I have looked at the sites you mentioned and other than the TOC mentioning
databases and VB.NET
there is no clue as to whether the database they refer to are MS ACCESS.
Most books use examples which include SQL Server.

You can ask or download student files and check. At Course Technology, I
found a VB book by Ekedahl that uses Access databases. At Prentice Hall, I
found VB books by Deitel & Deitel that use Access databases. At McGraw Hill,
I found:

http://catalogs.mhhe.com/mhhe/viewProductDetails.do?isbn=0072938285

which uses Access databases.

At Course Technology:

http://www.course.com/catalog/produ...Microsoft Visual Basic.NET&isbn=0-619-21507-0

At Prentice Hall:

http://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0131426400,00.html

and

http://vig.prenhall.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0130293636-SS,00.html

Hope this helps.
