Tomorrow man - i have the whole thing for u ready.. but my mind's too fuzzy for alcohol tonight tongue.gif later sometime tomorrow you'll have it all.. or simply check the Code Librarian software I was working on at Antilost.. As far as I'd done, it had the code to access MS-Access DB and Add/Edit/Delete stuff from it. Check under the Ongoing Projects section at Antilost.

Forget about that project - it's got a bunch of bugs, as in, hardcoded file-path and hence it cannot find the database at the given location. I've to fix those.

Anyway, I started a series of tutorials on interaction between VB.NET and MS-Access.

Here's the first part

I'll whip up the second and third parts tomorrow and day after. Hopefully these will cover everything you might want to know about this topic. If you have any specific requests, post back and I'll try to include that in the tutorials.

Hi Dhanesh,

Here is what I use to delete a record from my dataset in my VB.Net program that accesses a MS Access DB.

Here is the creation of my dataset.
CODE

        'Create a new dataset to hold the records returned from the call to FillDataSet.
        'A temporary dataset is used because filling the existing dataset would
        'require the databindings to be rebound.
        Dim objDataSetTemp As SecureComp.DataSet1
        objDataSetTemp = New SecureComp.DataSet1()
        Try
            'Attempt to fill the temporary dataset.
            Me.FillDataSet(objDataSetTemp)
        Catch eFillDataSet As System.Exception
            Try
                Dim writeFile As New StreamWriter("\\MAIN\hbh\Error.txt", True)
                If writeFile Is Nothing Then 'if file didn't open
                    MessageBox.Show("File failed to open")
                Else
                    'write error to file
                    writeFile.WriteLine(System.DateTime.Now & " Error loading database")
                    writeFile.Close()
                End If
                'log back out of windows
                '      ExitWindowsEx(0, 0)
            Catch
                'log back out of windows
                '    ExitWindowsEx(0, 0)
            End Try
        End Try
        Try
            'Empty the old records from the dataset.
            objdsClient1.Clear()
            'Merge the records into the main dataset.
            objdsClient1.Merge(objDataSetTemp)
            'get dataset length
            totalRec = objdsClient1.Tables("password").Rows.Count
            'set password text box to focus
            txtPass.Focus()
            'lock common keyboard functions e.x. alt+tab, alt+F4 ...
            HookKeyboard()
            'start focus timer
            StartTimer1.Start()
        Catch eLoadMerge As System.Exception
            Try
                'write system glitch to file
                Dim writeFile As New StreamWriter("\\MAIN\hbh\Error.txt", True)
                If writeFile Is Nothing Then 'if it didn't open
                    MessageBox.Show("File failed to open")
                Else
                    writeFile.WriteLine(System.DateTime.Now & "Error loading database")
                    writeFile.Close()
                End If
                'log back out of windows
                '  ExitWindowsEx(0, 0)
            Catch
                'log back out of windows
                '  ExitWindowsEx(0, 0)
            End Try
        End Try


Here is the call to the delete function (Me.btnDelete_Click(sender,e)), notice that I commit the changes right after the delete occurs.
CODE

        ElseIf (number = 1) Then
            MessageBox.Show("1 Minute Left on password", "Password Time Notice", _
            MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
        ElseIf (number < 1) Then
            'time ended
            'delete record from dataset
            If (editpass_type.Text <> 4) Then
                Me.btnDelete_Click(sender, e)
            End If
            Try
                'commit changes
                Me.UpdateDataSet()
            Catch
                'write error to file
                Dim writeFile As New StreamWriter("\\MAIN\hbh\Error.txt", True)
                If writeFile Is Nothing Then 'if it didn't open
                    MessageBox.Show("File failed to open")
                Else
                    writeFile.WriteLine(System.DateTime.Now & " Error updating database")
                    writeFile.Close()
                End If
            End Try


Here is the actual delete function that I call in the program.
CODE

    Private Sub btnDelete_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        If (Me.BindingContext(objdsClient1, "password").Count > 0) Then
            Me.BindingContext(objdsClient1, "password").RemoveAt(Me.BindingContext(objdsClient1, "password").Position)
        End If
    End Sub


Lastly here is the update function I used.
CODE

   Public Sub UpdateDataSet()
        'Create a new dataset to hold the changes that have been made to the main dataset.
        Dim objDataSetChanges As SecureComp.DataSet1 = New SecureComp.DataSet1()
        'Stop any current edits.
        Me.BindingContext(objdsClient1, "password").EndCurrentEdit()
        'Get the changes that have been made to the main dataset.
        objDataSetChanges = CType(objdsClient1.GetChanges, SecureComp.DataSet1)
        'Check to see if any changes have been made.
        If (Not (objDataSetChanges) Is Nothing) Then
            Try
                'There are changes that need to be made, so attempt to update the datasource by
                'calling the update method and passing the dataset and any parameters.
                Me.UpdateDataSource(objDataSetChanges)
                objdsClient1.Merge(objDataSetChanges)
                objdsClient1.AcceptChanges()
            Catch eUpdate As System.Exception
                Dim writeFile As New StreamWriter("C:\HBH\cmd\Error1.dat", True)
                If writeFile Is Nothing Then 'if it didn't open
                    MessageBox.Show("File failed to open")
                Else
                    writeFile.WriteLine(System.DateTime.Now & " Error updating database")
                    writeFile.Close()
                End If
                Throw eUpdate
            End Try
            'Add your code to check the returned dataset for any errors that may have been
            'pushed into the row object's error.
        End If

    End Sub


Hope this helps.
