    Im New with Databases... Help needed...

    I learn VB at this course, and there is this final project, that simply serves a function....

    now, i made this program for calculating Income and payments and such(virtual bank thingey thing....)


    if it is allowed (TELL ME IF IT IS) then i will put a DL link for the program (atleast now's progress...)

    all i need is to make a database which by a click of a function button, it saves a String(E.g. Names) and every diffrent data for that String... If putting a DL link is possible you will get it fast.....

    ok.. im putting pics in a flash...

    Welcome to VBForums

    You can attach your code here (but not any executable files), just put it all in a .zip file, then click on "Post Reply" below, and then "Manage Attachments"

    I recommend you take a look the sticky threads at the top of this forum:
    Before You Post: Getting Database questions answered quickly (which tells you the kind of info we need)
    Database Development FAQs/Tutorials (which tells you how to do various things with databases, and should allow you to make some progress by yourself)

    I know this doesn't answer your question, but is there any reason in particular you are using VB5?
    If my post helped you, please rate it!

    Languages: VB/ASP.NET 2005, C# 2008,VB6
    Databases: Oracle (knowledge not currently in use), DB2

    FROM Customers
    WHERE We_Know_What_We_Want <> DB.Null
    SELECT *
    0 rows returned

    There are various reasons, including:
    • you uploaded a .rar file, which many people cannot open (whereas virtually everyone can open .zip files, which is why I recommended it)
    • VB5 was out of date in 1998 - and those of us who used it can't remember which database access methods are available.
    • despite being given links to tutorials (ADO might work for you), you have not made any progress at all by yourself - we are not here to do it for you, but to give you assistance (such as showing you where to find relevant tutorials, and helping fix specific errors).

    What do you mean by "the VB 5.0 folder"?

    I suspect you mean VB5 itself, which would be illegal, and also against our rules.

    Even without that it would be a ridiculous thing to do, as you would be expecting us to spend lots of time downloading and installing software (which may have viruses etc in) just so that we can check something for you - which you could easily do yourself in a minute.



    If you actually want anybody to help you, put in some effort yourself first - you have already been given tutorials that are likely to work for you, yet it seems that you haven't even looked at them.

    I gave you that 8 days ago.

    Yet again, see the Database Development FAQs/Tutorials, particularly the "Classic VB (VB6 and earlier)" section.

    It contains everything you need to make at least some progress, and perhaps even to do it all with no more assistance.


    If you can't be bothered to even take a look at the tutorials, why on earth would complete strangers volunteer to do your homework for you?
