    database vb6 - Activation

    I am planning on making a registration program, but i would like it use a database to see if it has been activated before.

    I have a database with these fields:
    RegID, PID (Primary key), Activated - the Activated field is Yes/No

    On activation if the PID isn't there i want to add it, and set the Activated to Yes. If the PID is there and Activated = Yes, it will not activate the program.
    If the PID is there and Activated = No then it will activate and set Activate to Yes.

    I am going to use a Access Database on a server, the thing is i dont have a clue how to use a database with vb6.

    First of all i would like to know how to connect to a password protected database on a remote server.

    Thanks in advance

    And here for a tutorial on using ADO to manage a database.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
