ADO Beginners Tutorial

Use the DataAdapter's update method to update the db with changes made in the dataset.

Nope, I don't think that helps in my case. My database is an xml database, so I'm using no dataadapter, just the dataset. And the thing is that the change in the data comes from the user he clicks the button that says 'erase entry' and then I want the 'erased' field to be set to true. So I need to be able to do Dataset.Table.Change(...) if it existed, and then run Dataset.WriteXml(..).

So I wanna change the dataset and then write the xml.

Am I missing something I should be using like a dataadapter or something like that?

Thanks

This thread looks dead but I thought I'd try anyway.
I'm completely new at working with DBs.
I copied the code from Beacon's tut and added the reference.
Made a DB in Access 2002
One table with three fields.
Stored the table in the same folder as the VB project and altered the path in the form load event.

WHen I get to line:

cn.Open

I get:
'Run tome error -yada yada
Authentication failed'

Clicking 'Help' just says 'no help on subject'

Not a great start.
What do I do?
