• .NET Development Combine Visual Studio with Access

  Hi All, I have an app developed in Visual Basic 2005 connected to an SQL Server 2005 database (both Express editions). What I would like to do is create an Access .adp connected to the same SQL Server 2005 database. It seems however that Access (I have 2002) does not support developing against SQL Server 2005.
