HI everyone, Thank you for all the info and the welcome. Couple of things:
1. What is OP? 2. I understand that the logic/concept is the same. However where I am stuck is in the application of this concept. As you can see from the above I've since attempted to do the following when the button is clicked: a. open a connection to sybase (using the connection string from the connection string website) b. I've also imported System.Data.Oledb However this is still not working. I have tried connecting to a MSSQL server instead (just easier for me as I am learning). I can add a data source in VS2005 BUT I still have no idea on how to get the connection to be established when the button is clicked. I must definitely be missing something. So if you would be able to assist me in this particular area that would be great. Even helping me get the MSSQL connectivity working upon clicking the login buttong would be a good start - I can then apply the same thing to connect to say sybase. At this stage though I need someone to take my hand and walk me through (unfortunately). Once again I understand the concept is the same no matter what db/type of app but practically speaking I can't get it working. Thanks again for your time.
