What is the best way to work with an MS Access database? So far I am using data adapters and data tables, but it doesn't seem efficient. There are a lot of times where I am comparing many tables, and even though everything is working smoothly, I just feel I could do better.

That, and what is the best way to display multi-column rows of data? I tried using a data grid, but it keeps entering in a new row at the end, plus you can edit it. I want a static, clean table, with possibly the ability to click on the cells.

Oh, and do you think record sets would be better than data tables? Like I said, the way I have it is working, but what are some othe popular methods? Thanks!
 
1. I think you're best bet are the datatables and dataadapters or the datareader (It all depends on what you want to do with the data.

2. ComponentOne Flexgrid (Free with the VB.NET resource-kit)
