    Reading data from a database

    Hello all,

    I'm wondering how I can read data from an access 2000 database using visual basic. Does anyone know how to do this? I tried to use the data control, but it wouldn't work :/

    Thanks in advance,

    Shell

    There are several ways, it depends on what you want to w/ the data.
    First off, let me say that IMHO using the ADODC (data control) is a _bad_ idea... it causes more problems than it's worth.
    Using ADO would probably be a good way to go.
