I want to connect SQL Server database during runtime.User will input "database","server","password" and "UserID" via a form.I'm using sql server 2000 and VB.Net Beta 2.I have written some script to connect to database.First, I tried to import ADODB but i encountered an error message saying "ADODB" not defined.And then i tried to import SQLDMO object.Again the same message.Is the problem since i use VB.Net Beta edition?I aim to show records of a table in a grid.Table will be chosen by user after the connection is established.If anybody can help me, i would be very glad.Thank you.
