I'm currently developing a sample system wherein the primary key (supposedly id) must be used only once (of course, at it should be)so that there will be no duplicate entries.. I am using vb 2010 and ms access and I'm having problems with the oledbdatareader and the executereader.. I'll just check first your article "Database Programming Made Easy" since MS Access is my database application.. please do comment back if there's any more article I should look for .. thqank you! :)

Hi sir, I was studying vb.net for just a couple of weeks, i read some online tutorial on basics of vb.net and tried it and it worked. I also tried to connect database from access to vb and i made it. I also made some buttons to show records in my database like next,previous buttons but i stuck on update,delete, and save button. Until i found this site, i already downloaded your file and studied the codes in there. But my problem is, i dont know the functions of codes in that file, like the syntax "with" "gModule" etc. im working with our thesis "employee management system" our thesis aims to keep the record of the employee's and we also include attendance. In access i have a query that computes the total working hours of employee per day here's the query i use. Number of Hours: DateDiff("n",[Time-in],[Time-out])/60 But i dont know if VB.net have a syntax or code that updates the current time. I hope that you can help me sir, i need to understand every piece of codes in your HowtoAddUpdateDeleteRecord file. thank you
