[RESOLVED] Resordset

Keep in mind that there are free versions of MS SQL Server - SQL Server Express (MS SQL 2005) and MSDE (MS SQL 2000)...

Free to download - free to distribute - with some cap's on numbers of users and things like that.

I am downloading SQl Express now. And Thanks for the Info on there Location.


But I still have about 15 programs to covert to Access Database that I created.

The reason for the conversion was corrupted Random Files had to many go south on me.

Let me ask you this is SQL more for Xp than the win2000 I run on all my machines

MS SQL is for everything...

It's a true server database - it doesn't become corrupt (like ACCESS can)...

We were mainframe for 25 years until MS SQL 2000 came out - the first MS SQL product that viable for our customers to use...

Our customers are large (school district's with 1000+ teachers - potentially all connecting at the same time) and health insurance processing - tables with 3 or 4 million rows...

Might be back with more Brain pickers so to speak on the subject.

But for Now I got to get the programs going got invoices and Statements to do.


Let me say this and I hush I have been working in Vb for about 6 years. And only scratch the surface of its power.

Still in the learning process for an old man of 63
