Hi guys,

I am here to write a small database application that will be running in desktop (offline mode).

I am using MSAccess 2007 as my database file and trying to write code in vb.net.

I used to write the code vb6 an usually had global variables for storing database connection and executing every query from that.

I am trying to upgrade myself from vb6 to vb.net.

do i need to read some more simple starter books also?
