No one can tell you which you should use, the type you use is up to how your sql server is set up.|||thanks, but i have 5 questions to do, but if possible can i send a emal to you? i need to know some questions that i dont know....answer me if can i

In my case to show who is online in the sql server.|||my second question is; Are the ID and Pass, needed? Or if i want?|||No, I don't think I will help you with your homework. If you have questions, post them here and we will see what we can do.|||This depends upon how your database was set up by whoever installed it. Do you have a username and password? If so, use that.|||http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/quickstart/aspplus/doc/webdataaccess.aspx#adoplus|||douglas thanks!

when i finish the connectinstring, and the conection to the tables...nothing more to do?
i have to do this page on a .ASP page??

Thanks otherwise.|||This is an ASP.NET forum, and I have been pointing you to resources got use with ASP.NET, not classic ASP.

If this IS ASP.NET, after this code:

Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection( _
"server=(local)\NetSDK;database=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI")
Dim myCommand As New SqlDataAdapter("select * from Authors", myConnection)

Dim ds As New DataSet()
myCommand.Fill(ds, "Authors")

you can check:

ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Name Of Your Field"].ToString() to get a string representation of the field named.|||thanks so much!

The sql server dont have username and pass.
---------------------------
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection( _
"server=(local)\NetSDK;database=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI")
Dim myCommand As New SqlDataAdapter("select * from Authors", myConnection)

Dim ds As New DataSet()
myCommand.Fill(ds, "Authors")

ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Name Of Your Field"].ToString()
----------------------------
can i use this to acess my sql server??|||''pubs''= the name of the database
''server'' = DSN
'' Authors'' = table
second ''Authors''= name of column
''Name of Your field''= name of column]

IS it correct?
if it isnt correct over for me please.

-----------------
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection( _
"server=(local)\NetSDK;database=pubs;Integrated Security=SSPI")
Dim myCommand As New SqlDataAdapter("select * from Authors", myConnection)

Dim ds As New DataSet()
myCommand.Fill(ds, "Authors")

ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Name Of Your Field"].ToString()
