Hi

I have started doing an application in Access 2000 with forms, reports and it uses a switchboard. I got a copy of VB 6 as it is getting more advanced and it would be better to use that. Is it possible to import the access stuff into VB 6?

Thanks
 
I am a newbie at this also but I have been at it for better than a month to get my results right. The best way to get started is to use the VB Aplication Wizzard and have it create the stuff for you. Use the SDI and don't choose anything else you can make it yourself better. Now get to data forms and create new form choose access and find you database(backup copy). Choose single record and ADO code and form name. Choose your record source and fields and nothing else. Ok now the App it creates won't work you need to hit yes a few times on the errors. Then get rid of the module,and the Mainform just use the frmyoumade make it the startup. You will need to hack the code a little but it should work to get you started. Note also do not use the Access Database with a password, if needed you can do some codeing so you can use it. Sorry there seems to be little help out there but I have fought it myself. Write back if it helps!
