    <p>I get an error when I am trying to connect to a Microsoft Access DB using VB.NET. I see examples all over the web. My code looks like those examples, however I am getting a build error message stating:</p> <blockquote> <p>Type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection' is not defined.</p> </blockquote> <p>I have tried adding some kind of import statement for the <code>system.data.oledb</code>... but that does not seem to work. My code is below. It is a basic connection so I am thinking that I am missing some kind of add in, library, or setting. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.</p> <pre><code>Public Function TestMain(ByVal args() As Object) As Object ' Connection String to MS Access DB Dim connectStr As String = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;" &amp; _ "Data Source=C:\Users\DMalerman\keyword.accdb;" &amp; _ "Persist Security Info=False;" MsgBox(connectStr) ' Create connection to the db Using connection As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectStr) ' Create the SQL Query Dim readQuery As String = "Select KeywordDriver.ScriptName from KeywordDriver " &amp; _ "where KeywordDriver.Keyword = test" Dim queryCommand As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(readQuery, connection) 'Open the Connection connection.Open() ' Query the Database Dim dbReader As System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataReader = queryCommand.ExecuteReader() ' Loop until there is nothing left to read While dbReader.Read() Dim sKeyword As String = "" sKeyword = dbReader.GetString(0) MsgBox(sKeyword) End While ' Close the Reader dbReader.Close() End Using Return Nothing End Function </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
