This is probably a very stupid question, and it's probably just because I'm tired that I can't figure it out.

But is there anyway in VB.net. Specifically Visual Studio.net 2003 to connect to a database with out all the connect to server stuff? If I hit the connect to database it takes me to the data link connection dialog asking me for a server. The database I want to connect to is just sitting on my pc, it's also an access one.

Thanks for any help.
 
by default visual studio asks you for sql server connection stuff, but in the connect to DB dialog simple go to the 'Provider" tab and select "MS OLE Jet 4.0" then click next and it'll ask you for a path to the access DB
