hi

I used this code and it goes succefully but the problem is that i want to use a data base located in a server and not on my PC.

Can you help me please

Hi there...

The steps are the same, all you have to do is change the "connection string" which tells your program where to find the database. If you don't know how to do that, you can recreate the connection but when you do, don't select Access driver, instead select the driver that has to do with your server. I can't tell which driver you should use because it depends on the server type.

Dear Sir,

WAMP server is PHP5 Apache server + MySQL server. So you just need the MySQL data connectivity driver from .NET and you need to change the connection string to be compatible with mysql db.
