database connection [RESOLVED]

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum but, since it deals with vb.net, I will try here first.

I finally got an MS SQL server 2000 installed on my computer and finally figured out how to connect to the databases from vb.net using the server explorer and using the sqlconnector component.

What I'd like to know is how to take this .sql script file I have that is a backup of one of my forums and use it to restore the forum's data. Just a quick and dirty lesson is all I need really.

It isn't all that hard is it?

Do you have MS SQL or MSDE? If you have SQL then the easiest way is to start the SQL Query Analyzer tool and just load and run the script in there. Otherwise you could probably just load the text of the script into the Server Explorer or in code and execute it that way.

I installed ms sql 2000. I will try that out ed. thanks!!
