Hi, this is really off topic. If you guys want me to delete it, I will.
I'm pretty new to VB. I just learned to create a database file from Access.
now i want to be able to access the database for info in the program.
so far, I've found two supposed way of doing this.
First one was really complicated and I didnt understand it.
Second way was from this book called VB Bible. It basically says use this
Dim DB as Database
Set DB = OpenDatabase("filelocation")
then to access the stuff
Dim rs as recordset
set rs = db.openrecordset("name", dbopenDynast")
when I try this. first error msg i get is that Database is not proper user-defined type.
then it doesnt recognize the function OpenDatabase, not to mention the openrecordset.
Could someone give me some help? Thanks |

Did you set up the database as an ODBC source? If I recall correctly, you need to have the database "registered" with windows via the ODBC interface in order to access it via VB.
