Hi Kim,<br>
I also had no trouble linking to a database to read the data but did
have trouble updating the database. However, the tutes at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk">www.homeandlearn.co.uk</a> provided clear, step by step instructions that
enabled us to solve the problem.<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks to all the people who responded.
The reason why I asked if there was a difference - I was using the
worksheets supplied on SiMERR web site and had a bit of trouble with some of
the instructions for linking to the database using the full version of
VB.NET. I have managed to do it but with the help of other resources. Even
in the first folio I had problems finding the 'Click' event for a textbox in
code view.
Is it me or have others found this?

Edition)andVB.NET
We are using VE.NET 2005 express and can do everything plus more that we
need to meet yr12 Sof Dev requirements including accessing and updating
databases.
BTW we found a terrific tutorial site for both versions of VB.NET at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk">www.homeandlearn.co.uk</a>
That site has tutes on Excel and Word and more. If the VB tute is any
guide they also will be easy to read and follow with clear explanations
of functions.
