How much are you willing to donate? If it is worth for this version then I will go for it.

I would like the new vb 2008 version to continue the using of MS Access for these reasons:

1. Its portable

2. Easyily to Backup

3. Easily to Modify

4. The Installer takes less space becouse almost any computer have ms office installed, or you can simply install ms access runtime which takes much less space then SQL

5. The SQL sevrer is an disatvantage for older PC since it takes much more CPU resources then access, and it starts as service by winxp even if you dont run the application.

6. The SQL might have conflict with other softwares that uses SQL too, and if you install it you mught have to change the server name, which will make the older installed software to stop working. (different SQL authentication types used by two different

The disadvantage of using an access database is that you need to map the directory where the database is located. While if using an sql server all you need is to configure the program to connect to the sql server.

You are right on saying that it could be a conflict on your sql server installation if other program use a different than the other.

As a final thought ms access may be the best choice.

The directory path for MS Access can be fixes easily, as a path you can use the current exe dir + add /database/data.mdb. you should only modify the string which connects to the datamase in modules.

%CurrentDir%/Database/data.mdb

im just wondering. is vb 2008 just the same with vb.net 2008?
