Hello all,

I'm working on developing a database system for a hospital (Database Project) using Oracle SQL 9i, and I'm required to develop a screen layout using Visual Basic 6.0 which I never, unfortunately, used to code on it!! Can some guide where to start?! and How to do so??

I've my SQL queries ready, but I have no idea how to connect to the database I have!!

Sorry if it's a repeated topic, but I'm indeed.

Many thanx

Abdallah

Its been more than 2 years when i used VB, but few things i remember.

You can use VB's ADO ( Activex Data Objects ) and this tool is available under "components " option in some menu ( i dont remember) . It comes under "ADO library 2.1" if i am not wrong.

And you can use "ODBC" in Administrative tools under control panel to create a connection with the database.

Thats it from my side, look into the docs for the above stuff and i hope you should get the exact answer.

Why aren't you using HTML DB? No VB required and web based too!

I used to be a competent VB programmer - use of data driven components was not something I would always recommend due to inflexibility etc. It might be easier to use ADO and standard objects on the forms. Have you a mock up or requirements document to work to?
