Hi Davids,
Thank you for all your help. I think i will just place that on the c drive for now.Because i'm new to vb studio 2005. So i still have many others problem. Could you help me with it. For instance, how would i select the data from access using vb 2005.
Here is the code that i got so far
Imports
System.DataImports
System.Data.OleDbImports System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection
Imports
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
Public
Class Form1 Public Sub OpenDatabaseConnection() Dim strConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=C:\Documents\Questions.mdb;" Dim objConnection As New OleDbConnection(strConnectionString)objConnection.Open()
MessageBox.Show(objConnection.State.ToString())
End Sub Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LoadOpenDatabaseConnection()
End Sub
rivate
Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.ClickNow from this point on i would like to open my file and print it on the screen. I have been looking through ado.net 2.0 book but it didnt' help much.
End SubThank you

Use the data controls provided with the IDE. The conneciton wizard should automatically generate the connection code for you and create a nice and neat gridview (depending on the control.)
...or you could hard code a grid view which is redundant considering the control(s) will accomplish your desired task.
