Well here's a basic tutorial to go on about data controls in VB.

covers :-
the use of the intrinsic Data Control.
(local databases like MS Access)

the use of ADO data control.
(example taken in tutorial is Oracle Database).


Ill be posting on more data methods and controls as well.

Thanks Xenon this look like it will be realy helpful to me.
Could you post some more on vb... i need all the help i can get.

You can also ask any question you'd like in the VB forum

well im nearly finished with my second tutorial; using VB code rather than the ADO data control and also more recordset methods plus error handling in these areas.

thanks xenon as a new mature student to programming all the help I can get is appreciated. I am starting to get the hang of VB now but it took a while.

Thanks Xenon, this is what I was looking for. It’s very understandable. .
