hi there i have a problem regarding dbase path (i used dbase wizard) where can i find it
because dbase wizard is the easiest and fastest the connect to the dbase and u can choose either detailed or gridview....but my problem is where can i edit the dbase path (C:\Windows\dbase\mydbase.mdb) because when i install my program to another PC the path of dbase was in (C:\windows\dbase\mydbase.mdb) i want is to share a folder in my PC(where my dbase is) and change the dbase path of my program and so that when i install it again to another PC(s) they can acces to my dbase (\\mypc\dbase\mydbase.mdb)... or there is any way to bound the items of the database thru textboxes, rich textbox, masked textbox, and combobox.....using code
about dbase path in a connectionstring!?

to edit the database path, look in the 'app.config' file in your project. there you can actually change the path to refer to your computer as the server and you will be able to share your Db with other computers that have your program installed. Hope this helps.

Consider this,,,,,,,, My.Settings.NameofConnection = connectionstring
don't forget to add My.Settings.save and My.Settings.reload to make the changes
I hope I am right.... :-()
Glint
in the Form_load sub, you typically get a code listed as such:
Me.tableadapter1.Fill(Dataset.[table])
right above that line, you can add this code:
Dim myConnection as new System.Data.Oledb.OledbConnection(connection string as string)
Me.tableadapter1.Connection = myConnection
Then no matter what the 'wizard' set the connection to, it will change to your connection as your form loads, then fill you dataset properly.
If you have alot of connection strings that need to be changed to the same dBase, then you could create a module that contains a public myConnection and you can more easily change the connectino string there, and have it update through out the whole program.
