display access database information in vb

[tonynca]

hello everyone,

I'm trying to write a program that will link information for students based on information inside access database file. Basically all I want done is when a student logs in, we will identify that student then display his information in a window (name, address, phone, etc.) Can anyone point me to the right direction on going about this? I'm very new to VB and still in the process of learning. This is for a school project. Please help. Thank you in advance.

I am also new to VB. But just want to share with you.

First of all, do you how to use VB connect to Access database? This is extremely important because if you cannot connect the database, what you can do is nothing!

You may refer to the post by Dee-U for how to use ADO to connect to database.
If you understand what he has written, then, I think it is not diffcult to write your own application. Here is the link : ADO connection

Hope this help

I apologize for not following standard post format. I left out so much information.

Yes I have connected my access database to VB.

Ok, correcting my earlier post:

I'm using VB 2008 Express along with Access 2007.

The problem I'm having is trying to know the code in order to link/display information from my database of users.

Basically, I want to display user's information after they log on. So I need to get 2 things down:

1. After user logs on, identify who that user is.
2. Go back to access and find that users information from a table and display their information on VB.

I'm pretty much very new to VB and I think I have a lot to learn in order to do this.
