Tony,
The best newsgroup to help you on this is the
microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.adonet ng.

ADO.NET is part of the .NET framwork and handles the access to SQL/Access
databases etc. Essentially, there are several elements to this connection.

The Connection Class ( in your case OLEDBConnection )
The OLEDBDataAdapte r ( That which interfaces between the DataSet you pull
the data into/out of
The DataSet ( The repository which holds dataTables and Relationships etc.

The DataSet is then bound to the DataGrid by setting its datasource thus.

This is a tough one to get your head around at first, but you need to play
with it and experiement. I suggest you look on the MSDN library, there are
several topics on it. Also I recommend you go out and buy a book and read up
on the concept. You will spend HOURS AND DAYS AND WEEKS messing about with
this before you get it locked down.

Good Luck
