I'm using VB to access MDBs, and now I want to expand my work to a SQL server. Does anyone know where someone of my needs can find a suitable tutorial?
Thanks in advence,

Or
http://www.sqlteam.com/store.asp|||What are you wanting a tutorial on? Not clear...|||I know how to connect to an access database using VB.
I want to connect to an SQL server instead. And I want the transfer to be as swift as possible as I don't want to reprogram everything I did..
But I don't know nothing about SQL servers.
Though I did heard they're relatively easy to move to if you already used access..|||Originally posted by Wolverchenus

Well the short answer is...it depends...
How do you connect to Access now?
I've converted several Access apps to sql server...some port ok, others are impossible...
mostly because the way the front end was written..
In the final analysis, the best reason to go to sql server is to take advantage of the power of the backend...
If your using it just for storage, it may be that it'll be slower...much slower...|||It's to allow multiple connections through multiple computers on a network..
I'm using OLEDB right now. Can we do it Doc?|||Yes, you can do it.
Since nobody has yet suggested a particular title, I'm willing to go out on a limb and suggest The Hitchiker's Guide (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/results.asp?WRD=Vaughn+Hitchiker&userid=2WUBPYEBAS&cds2Pid=946) by Bill Vaughn. I think it is a great book for someone getting started!
-PatP|||Anything lighter and free? :D
I'm more of an autodidact.. once someone aims me at the right direction..|||Lighter? I'll lend you a couple of helium balloons!
Free? Other than the obvious comment about "you get what you pay for", there are hundreds of sites that could be a significant help there. Check out the VB forum (http://www.dbforums.com/f15/) here at dbforums, the Microsoft VB.NET (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/using/) pages, tidbits from Woody's Watch (http://www.woodyswatch.com/), and quite literally thousands of places around the web.
