Hello, this is my first post here.

Im familiar with using the Jet Database in VB5 Pro, but I dont have access to VB5 anymore so I just purchased VB.Net (Standard). Im completely lost about setting up a new database. I cant seem to find the Jet database engine.

Im writing a standalone windows app (with no Net connectivity) and need to create my own database that will then be connected to data-bound controls on a VB form.

Can somebody please point me to any docs, tutorials, or website that can put me on the fast-track? Ive been searching the MSDN library and it keeps coming up with sample code for "Duwamish" but I cant see anything there that tells me how to create my own database and connect it to data-bound controls.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
thistlewait
 
It all depends on what RDBMS you want to use. Theres Microsoft SQL Server, MSDE (free version of Microsoft SQL Server), Oracle, Microsoft Access, MySQL and many others. Youll need to pick one that you have or can make available prior to us being able to help you.
