somehow i chose it so windows update would automatically download updates in the background... now i dont want that... how do i change it back to the way it was when i installed xp? and also, if anyone is into visual basic... just wondering if its easy to use microsoft access databases with VB..
yeah you can use VB with microsoft access... you need ODBC technology... you can import VB databases into access but not the otherway around. Oh yeah... its not the forms from VB that you import... you can use the same tables and data stored in those tables and access them through access.
As far as I remember, the complete professional version of VB should be compatible with access, and as with everything in VB except for DirectX, it's easy as pie.
We had to do a database project for our GCSE IT courcework, and me and a couple of others added to it by linking it with a VB program. I can't remember exactly how since it was about 5 years ago and I havn't used VB since, but it was pretty easy. I think I failed the project though, since I spent so much time on the VB programming that wasn't required as part of the project that I ended up rushing the bits that were needed. Was fun though
