Hi All,

I'm just starting to learn VB with simple database access using the version 5.0 Learning Edition so please forgive any stupid questions!

Currently I am working with SQL Server as my Source database with Access providing links/views back to the SQL server so that I can link to this database from VB. (Learning Edition only allows connection to these types of database)

I have read much on the merits of using ADO or RDO to connect but how can I tell what I using? After reading some tutorials I've ben shown how to use ADO 2.0 but I cann't find this control in my Toolbox. Is this a limitation of Learning Edition or is it something I must install as an extra?

Any help on this would be greatfully appreciated.

Thanks

Unfortunately, I think the Learning Edition only allows you to use the standard Data control. (at least thats what I read about VB6 LE)
