VB Advice
I have a small amount of VB6 knowledge, and am competent with Access and Vba.

I am trying to put together a program that accesses a SQL server database and need a couple of pointers in the right direction. I am looking at it having similar functionality to an access database.

What is the best way to connect to the database (DataEnvironment, ADO or other)? Once connected what is my best way to display data in the forms, unbound or bound?

I am just looking for any pointers from people with more knowledge than myself, and also any links to example apps that you may know of…

Thanks in advance.

Personally, I try to do all my db work in code with ado. I use databound controls but I try to bind the data in code rather than design time. One reason is databound controls in VB6 have "issues" with mysql database back ends.

Thanks for the pointers, I have gone with ADO and binding the data using code... Seems to be going fine, so far!

Thanks again
