Why can't i use

Dim cnn as new OleDbConnection ()

It is not recognized

Am I missing a reference to a library ?

There is but a faster way

Dim cnn as new OleDb.OleDbConnection ()

true, but if you're going to use any OleDb stuff, it's best to import it, that way you don't have to type that out every time

It also tells .NET to load the assembly that it needs ahead of time instead of the first time it needs it
