connecting to ms access with vb6

[Dököll]

I forgot to tell you what to put into About. We want to make Text1 your search field. If you already added something in and you know what it is, forget about the below reply to this post. Or else, add data in the following fashion:

(1) In Text1, Type 1234 (This goes to UserID field in Access table called Yodamania)

(2) In Text2, Type Yoda Friend (This goes to Name field in Access table called Yodamania)


(3) In Text3, Type 12 Bolt Court, Utah (This goes to Address field in Access table called Yodamania)


(4) In Text4, Type 301-555-5544 (This goes to Phone field in Access table called Yodamania)


(5) In Text5, Type Yoda@FeelGoodNe t.org (This goes to Email field in Access table called Yodamania)

Add additional data to reflect different UserID numbers like, 1235, 1236, then add other specific data to each so each name, address, etc, is distinguished.

You tell me how this works out Yoda, then we'll move on to retrieving this data.

In a bit!

I warned you about this way back on the first page. What I am curious about is this: are you going to do a complete programming tutorial for everyone who asks this question? There are tutorials out there on the web. It makes sense to point people in the right direction. It is not efficient to spend this much time tutoring one person. Of course, as long as it is not an assignment, you can choose to spend your time as you wish :)

he's just trying to help and the tutorial wasn't much help the 1 u gave me, but this is not assignment so don't stop him i need his help cause i'm really new to access and VB.

Yoda :)

[Dököll]

You are so nice, WillAkaWill, thank you for your thoughts...

No, I am not going to do a complete tutorial for everyone; though I did intend to at some point. And to tell you the truth, I think of this site as a global tutorial-friendly site. If one could search right, answers to a number of FAQs would be found. Indeed, a direction to the right/solid source is just and helpful, especially in the case one is just passing through, but hints to likely/right away solutions would make waves for someone in dire need. I have learned to separate from posts that are just to shoot the breeze. With Yoda, we can achieve something. I have a hint, we'll have this one nailed, perhaps learn something, tips and tricks, a treat, something in that kind of a line...It sounds like I have your blessing to continue, hopefully Yoda is here for the long hall :-)

[willakawill]

You don't need any blessing from me. Post whatever you wish. It is not my business. I haven't read the posts on this thread after the first page. I just noticed that you had reached 4 pages and thought that, perhaps, you may have felt obliged to continue. Post away my friend :)

[Dököll]

Blessing is far beyond what I hope to gather, just applauding the fact that you wish I continue if I so choose. You're a kind person, I'll stop spreading rumors :-)

[Dököll]

Where are you Yoda? You have yet to respond to my previous post good buddy...
