Database Connectivity This tutorial shall show you how to connect to a Microsoft Access Database using Microsofts ActiveX

Data Object. This is a DSN-less connection that will only a!e use of a connection object to e"ecute S#$ State ents to the %atabase. This eans that you nee% to learn S#$ to be able to issue the &ro&er co an%s. 'efore we &rogra however( there are a few things about the configuration of the syste files that nee%s to be e"&laine% for all of these co%es to wor!. )e e ber that this will NOT work without the )eference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects library *this particular project used 2.5+ 1. The application path and File locations ,or the %atabase connectivity to wor!( -isual 'asic nee%s to !now where the Database file is. So the connection string of the connection object usually has the &ath to the %atabase file. The &roble lies in the fact that if we %eci%e to transfer this file to another location( the &ath wont wor! any ore hence( the connection fails. .eres the solution/ put the Database file in the same folder as the Application/Project File and use a RELAT !E PAT" to the database file. 0n our 1"a &le( heres how the syste Sample folder s contents &rjMyStu%entMaintenance.vbp &rjMyStu%entMaintenance.vbw MSS442)5.SCC fr A%%.fr! fr Delete.fr! fr 1%it.fr!
