Connecting to Access database from VB 2010

[rbalassi]

I’m new to this forum, and to VB.net. I’m trying to connect to a MS Access 2010 data base from a VB 2010 program.

• What references do I need from my Project’s References tab?
• What code do I need to establish a connection to this data base?

I've looked on-line, but am currently at a loss. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You don't need to add any references. I have to wonder exactly what you searched for because I just Googled connect to access database in vb.net and this was the first match:

Visual Basic .NET programming for Beginners - Write your own Database code

That all seems quite clear to me. Even if you don't understand everything that would surely be enough to make a start.

You might also follow the Data Walkthroughs link in my signature. I believe that you'll find some Access-specific resources there.
