what if i don't have MS Access?

[Jimlin41]

I want learn how to use databases in VB. I read the tutorial but I need MS Access to create a database. I only have MS Works which doesn't let me create .mbd DB's. Is there anything else I could do? Thanks in advance.

Click the Start Button and do a Find for Visdata. If you
have Visdata.vbp you will have to compile it to Visdata.exe.
If you have Visdata.exe, put a shortcut to it on your desktop. Run it and from the File Menu select New, then Microsoft Access and the latest version. You will be presented with a Database Window, titled oddly enough
"Database Window". In it you will see Properties, Right Click on it and select "New Table". This will open the
Table Structure Dialog which will allow you to build Tables
for your Data Base. You might also try to open an existing
database (Biblio.mdb) and see it's structure. If you have
a problem getting beyond this email me and I will try to
guide you through it.
