    Hi Tim....ithanks....t's going to take some time for me to learn visual basic 2005...and has anyone seen how vb9 looks???well, it's not good old classic vb6 anymore, it's more like c#...  
And btw, just to rant a bit... while Microsoft promied to support vb6 applications on Vista they didn't ship all the dll's that your programs might need, so it's a big headache. Anyone using Vista yet or deploying applications to Vista?

Jamie,
  
  
VB.Net doesn’t support the app.path function of VB6.
  
  
One way you could replicate it, is to use this function:
  
  
Private Function AppPath() as String
  
 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;   ; &nbsp; &nbsp; Return System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath
  
End function

Good Morning everyone....Normally I use the following to connect to the database so it's not hard coded.
  
  
XXX  "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & App.Path & "SS2X.MDB;Persist Security Info=False"
  
  
  
  
This is returning an error in Visual Basic 2005 which I am just beginning to learn... 
  
  
Below is a sample of a connection to vb2005 which does work , so how do you change the path so that is is the applications path and not hard coded to the C drive....Jamie

Me?  I am avoiding Vista until AT LEAST Service Pack 1,
Maybe 2.
One article in  a computer magazine extorts folks to upgrade
to Vista now, since they will be doing so eventually, and so
get the benefits of this new OS earlier.
 
A recent article in Forbes absolutely took Vista apart
(along with Office 2007, although to a lesser extent). 
Problems (IIRC):
1) Whole new way of organizing menus, with no
"classic" option, 2) small number of nontrivial
incompatibilities with old files, libraries, 3) loss of
support for some older, but still in play device drivers, 5)
Others that I don't recall.
