Question

I have a code like this (still not finished because I don’t know the access connection setting)

 Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
    Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
    Dim ds As New DataSet
    Dim da As OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter
    Dim sql As String
    Dim golmin As String
    golmin = ComboBox1.SelectedText

    con.ConnectionString = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = C:/Users/RUMAH49/Documents/Visual Studio 2008/Projects/Project-Christian/Project-Christian/MineralDB.mdb"

    con.Open()

    sql = "SELECT [Nama Mineral] FROM MsMineral WHERE [Golongan Mineral] LIKE '" + golmin + "'"
    da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)


End Sub

I want to populate the combobox2 list with the query above. How do I do that? Is this connection incorrect or do I still have to use the Dataset wizard?

Answer 1

if you are trying to connect to Access 2007 then you need to use a different provider

Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0
