I'll be honest, when I first went to your link I was pretty lost. It is about C# rather than Visual Basic. However, knowing they are both parts of the .NET framework, I read it through anyway. I found one line in there that seemed like it would work, and when I tried it I had success. Thank you.

Hello - I have a button on my form which says "Help", and I would like it to access the same thing as when the user hits F1. I have a "Help Provider" which I am using for that purpose. I am programming with Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2017. How can I do this? Any help would be appreciated. I...

This is solved now. I took the time to learn enough about SSMS to be able to create a database in it. It really wasn't that much different from what I was doing in Visual Studio. However, when I create it here, I can look at the connection and see what connection to use in Visual Basic when I...

Thanks for your replies, @JuggaloBrotha and @JMcIlhinney. This chapter shows 4 different ways of creating a database (that will be populated later). I am not familiar enough with this stuff to know how to use SSMS or to connect with any other connection than the local one I used. I spent...

I am currently going through a tutorial book called Visual Basic and Databases by Philip Conrod and Lou Tylee. I am doing well with it and learning a lot from it. However, I have got to a point where I can not figure out what my computer is doing. I am trying to create a database using the...

Thank you, I see now that I put 'form' instead of 'from'. Some days are just like that I guess. Thanks again for the speedy reply!

Well, Thank you all for the help. I was finally able to work this out as you can see on the picture attached. However, I now have another problem which seems to defy explanation. I am totally unsure what the incorrect syntax is, let alone how to fix it. Has anyone else run into this? Or can...

Thanks for the reply. I think that may have been it. I tried "(localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB" and get a different error now. It now seems to find the server, but still can't open the file for whatever reason. I truly wish there was a good tutorial for this stuff, but I am not finding one in my...

I am totally new to this database stuff. I am working in Visual Studio 2017 trying to link a database with a program. The name of the SQL Server seems to be a problem. I get the following exception when I try to run the program. From this and other errors I am thinking I have the name of...

@jmcilhinney - Well, I am hopelessly a Windows guy after being forced into it for the last 30 years by my job. Retired now, but still ... I thought a half dozen classes would do for the enemies, and another half dozen for the heroes. This doesn't seem worthwhile for a database. The...

I am making a new game. It will have several different good guys and several different bad guys, along with many different areas to visit. I am calling them Heroes, Enemies, and Rooms. Since I have so many different things to refer to I thought it would be good to use a group of class...
