Well, I'm a beginner to SQL but I have a good amount of experience with Visual Basic. Anyway, I would like to know this:
When I query a database in Visual Basic, and it returns a single, numeric value, is there any way that I can save that value into a integer variable that I have declared in Visual Basic?
I have heard that this is very hard, but it is crucial a program I'm working on. If anyone has a better way, please let me know, and if anyone knows how to do this, I would really appreciate it if you replied.

Thanks
