OK Thanks to all! I may sound like a "dummy" with SQLServer2005 but I have actually no problems with creating databases and using ADO.net to manipulte the data! I was just very unsure of the connection and manipulation of the main Database on a network. So to recap: 1)I must install my VB.net...

I have recently created a topic about retrieving the value of an Identity column that is an autonumber primary key field in SQLServer2005. Thanks to all for the posts. Even though I do understand the SQL Language and the insert command. I still am stuck on this topic because I am only using SQL...

Sorry! One more QUESTION: I use Microsoft Access for my Database and thanks to jebenson I am trying to learn SQLServer2005. My question is if Access is powerful and fast enough to use when my Data becomes very large in the database? WILL IT CRASH or is it recommended to learn SQLServer2005?

Thank You! I had an alternative way of fixing this problem: m_dtContacts.Reset() m_daDataAdapter.Fill(m_dtContacts) I just re-filled the DataTable and the primary key auto number updated itself but my question is: 1)Will this slow the program down noticeably as the Data in the database...
