Basic connection string

[sam_wilson]

hi,
im new to vb.net and im a little annoyed. im writing a webcrawler, for a education project, and i want to be able to enter the urls i have searched into a database, but it wont let me.

I have previouly programed in asp.net and i can connect to databases in that language but not in vb.net.

so all i ideally want is a basic connection string using what ever dataprovider to connect to a ms access database.

i ave already tried ADODB, but that complains that some of the parameters in the statment are wrong, but that was off an internet tutorial.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks

Sam Wilson

Just out of double curiousity.. why arent you using a wizard to do this for you?
Open the Data Sources window and choose "add New DataSource to this project" link...

ps; before someone says "Cause wizard is lame" -> it's actually not! The data access side of VBN2005 is very very good, and the wizard writes well-encapsulated, sensible code that works. Using it actually makes the user a better programmer.. There's a huge set of brilliant tutorials in my signature, link DW2
