I'm pretty sure that you can't use VB to talk to OOo's database component. I may be wrong, but I doubt it. Even if you can do it, I wouldn't teach that to people anyway. I can't imagine why anyone would ever use VB to talk to OOo's database. If they want to use OOo's database, they would use OOo to talk to it - not VB. Either MySQL or Postgres would make excellent open-source database engines to learn on - both have decent ODBC drivers ( though Postgres seems to be ahead in this area ), and both can be painlessly accessed via ADO. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
