    Hello,

    I'm trying to build a website using Visual Studio and Access as my database. I'm not very good with coding but I want to try linking the Access Database to Visual Studio. So far I've built a small database to test it with but I'm not sure how to connect the data base.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction on where I can read up? or get me started in the right direction? Thanks in advance
     
  2. i honestly think you should pick up some books... this isn't easy, especially if you aren't particularly good with coding.... you can't really teach the everything you need on a forum...

    best thing to do is just go grab some books and read.... SQL books for database queries, and some books on access and vb..

    Hmm thanks for the reply. Honestly the only experience I've had is with VB. My group mates kind of dropped this on me and I have to do it in three weeks. o___o

    if this is for "work" or something, its not exactly right to have that "dropped" on u especially if its nothing you've done before
    if you said u could do it, then that's another thing...

    any particular reason u need to use VS/MS stuff? given the commercial prices, probably not as worth it
    better off doing php/mysql

    there's quite a few samples on the web that help u set it up, and u can test it locally on your machine before u host it on the web

    that said, there's also quite a few tutorials and examples on using ms-sql and displaying results on a page
    really depends what you want to do. if its just reporting off the data, or whether you're trying to do shopping carts. if you're really desperate, there's pre-made ones u can just buy and modify to suit
