free database to work with?

[gamefiend]

Hello,

Anyone know of a free database out there that I can use to practice interfacing vb with? :confused:

Thanks,
Mike

What's wrong with the Jet engine that ships with VB?

maybe I'm misunderstanding your response, but what I mean is a database that I can build tables in (like access) and then work with them through vb... I don't know how to completely make a database in vb yet (if that's what your saying)

Try the VB Visual Data Manager that is under the Add-Ins tab. Launch that, then create a new database. It will let you set the tabels and fields. Then, under Utility, go to Data Form Designer. This will let you input the field values. It's a bit clunky, but it's not too bad for doing it all itself. On the form that it creates, check the properties of the various controls. It's actually pretty nifty how the bound controls work.

Hope this helps.

Actually, Trick, this does help alot. I really appreciate it.
