Hi, I'm in need of a simple database for a program I'm writing...
First, here's some info on what I want to do, so you can even tell me if a database is what I would need to accomplish it.

It needs to have a single table, with two columns.

First column will hold only 8 digit HEX codes (can be stored in a string if need be) - every entry will be unique
Second column will hold a file path

I need to be able to search for the path from the HEX code.

I was able to create and link to an SQL Server Express DB in VB by using this tutorial: http://visualbasic.about.com/od/usin...dbvsfile_2.htm
But that just create's and links the database, without telling me the code on how to manipulate it.

I've been pulling my hair out about this for a while, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Having never used databases before, this is extremely frustrating.

Thanks
