1401360 2015-05-26 03:24:00 Hoping someone here can help (or point me at useful documentation/webpage that could be useful)

Writing a small app in VB.Net (just for fun, at home...) and trying to pull values from an Access Database (either .accdb or .mdb) however I can't figure out how to get my app to talk to the database. Tried a few examples from the web but they all throw errors.

Can someone point me in the right direction for how to connect to and query an Access DB from a VB.Net form? I have two input fields, and I would like to query the db based on the values in those two fields, to return a third value. I don't need to return more than one value, and I don't need to write anything.

There are 57 rows and 7 columns. First value I want to query is from the first column, second value determines which of the remaining 6 columns to select from (in the form of selection from 1-6), so using the table below, if someone input 20000 in the first textbox and 4 in the second textbox it would return a value of 103.

My problem seems to be that I can't get my app to connect to my DB, but I'm not entirely sure. Didn't think it'd be that difficult to find help on the web for something like this :)

Cheers,
Mike.

1401361 2015-05-26 03:35:00 Or would it be better to store my table in a different format? Different kind of DB file perhaps, or XML or Excel or something else?

Cheers,
Mike.
