I have created a program in VB Express 2008 for a small company to store and manipulate data. Currently we store our data using SQL Express 2008 on our work server. This runs smoothly with no known issues.
We have several employees who are very rarely in the office who now need access to the database to create reports and view information for meetings etc. It is now time to migrate the database over to MySQL!
As I am using VB Express 2008 I have no MySql References available, I read several articles and forum posts on this subject that told me to download SQL Connector .Net 5.2.7 to enable me to browse and add the MySQL.Data reference. I have tried several versions and have had no success, if you have any suggestions on how I can find the MySQL Reference it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
What's your problem? you can not add the reference? You were not very clear..
Just download http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
then you will be able to add reference for Mysql.Data to your project.
PS : Here you can find the manuals ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ )

Is visual basic application (VBA) part of Microsoft Access?
Do VB and VBA use the same syntax? To verify, Microsoft Access uses VBA not VB right?
If I create an access database using vba, can I run it on any computer that has Microsoft Access installed?
Thanks
Yes. To be more specific it's part of Office. You can run VBA in Excel and Word also...
For simplicity sake - Yes, they have similar syntax. It really is more closely tied to VB before it was VB.Net. VB.Net has diverged quite a bit now from VBA BUT you will find the basic syntax has similarities.
Here's a bit of history on it...
Yes, if you create an Access DB that is using VBA in it, it should run on a computer with Access installed.
Ofcourse VBA is strictly Microsoft Windows so if you run on any computer running Microsoft Windows it should work. And bytheway for the first question VBA IS is the same as VB.
And next time just mind the way you formulate your questions as your questions should be - i did this,this what i have, but no working - kinada questions check the https://stackoverflow.com/faq

i wanted to ask a question that i myself have been asked in class by our database teacher;
What makes MySQL different from other Sqls? I've always been using MySQL due to the fact that's what we have been taught when i learned how to program websites, but honestly? I dont know what makes MySQL better then other SQL's(For program development) such as;
SQLite
MS Access
PostgreSQL
MongoDB
I was hoping someone could point me towards the answer or perhaps even give me a explanation of it.
I hope it was alright to post this question here as i'm unsure as to were else it should have been posted.
I'd choose MySQL over
SQLite, because SQLite is too "lite" for a lot of purposes; it does not have multi-user access, so would not work quite well in server environment
MS Access and PostgreSQL, because they are less common and I'm more likely to get useful community support for them (especially valid for MS Access :-)
MongoDB, because that is not SQL database at all, and you've asked about SQL databases

I wanted to used standard TCP/IP connection using MYSQLconnection. Is this the best way?
Whether or not this is the best way depends on your environment. For many cases, this would not be the correct way to go about things, because the person running the client program would have direct access to your database. You would also be required to open your firewall to allow anybody running your application to have access to the database. Not only security problems, but if you wanted to change the queries being run to perform a particular action, then you would have to ensure that everyone updated their client program. An alternative way of doing something like this that may work better, would be to create a web server (XML, SOAP, JSON, etc.) that your VB.Net program called to complete various actions. That way the VB.Net program would not have to connect to the database directly, which would allow both for increased security, as well as allow you to change things on the server side such as table structure without the VB.Net program being aware.

How do I use MySQL in Visual Studio 2010 with EF4?
As far as I'm aware there is no MySql provider yet for EF4 and it is unlikely there will be one until after it EF4 moves out of Beta. Also it's worth mentioning that it took MySql almost 9 months to develop the initial support for EF1.
One of the third party vendors such as DevArt may come to the market sooner. Let's hope so otherwise it could be a long wait.
Have you seen this question? Or do you have a specific problem with MySql and EF4?
I know this is an old question, but I've succeeded in using EF4 with VWD express 2010 using a tool called EdmGen2.
I can't generate nor update the model trough the interface, but I've made a batch script to generate the files for EF4 and I just have to rerun the script when I change anything on my database.

does anyone know where on access 2007 a function where i can access my sql database? i need it to create reports. thanks
Create an ODBC connection. In Microsoft Access, go to the File menu and select Get External Data and choose Link Tables... from the resulting menu.
As well as with linked tables as suggested by ocdecio, you could also do an "Access Database Project" - which is basically an Access front end to a SQL back end. If you did it this way, you could use all of your existing views, stored procs, functions, etc.
