OK i'm learning the vb.net way to access MS Access. But I have run into a snag. As I understand this when I creata a Dataset and then fill it, I have basically filled an array of sorts? What I'm doing is selecting a number from a combobox filled from the Database. then using that as the main criteria for my search for a record, and it always works the first time. but there after some of the data does not change. I am wordering if the dataset should be empted on prior to each access? here is the code I'm using.
Thanks
Code:
Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
Dim dbProvider As String
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim dadapter As OleDbDataAdapter
Sub GetData()
Try
dbProvider = "provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;data source=..\Hy-Tech Maint2.mdb"
'"SELECT * FROM tblWorkOrder WHERE WOClosed = False AND DeletedWO = False"
con.ConnectionString = dbProvider
con.Open()
sql = "SELECT * FROM tblMachine WHERE MachineNumber =" & cboMachineNumber.Text
dadapter = New OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)
dadapter.Fill(ds, "Machine")
'MsgBox("Database is now open")
con.Close()
'MsgBox("Database is now closed")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
'Start filling in the Fields
txtManufDate.Text = ds.Tables("Machine").Rows(0).Item(4)
End Sub
