i m pretty new to VB. actually i m developing a stand alone application using VB5 and MS Access database on Windows 98. i wanna know that can i run that application on Windows NT?

and my second question is.. can a stand alone application run over Windows NT using MS Access database? because i heard that only client server type VB application using SQL server database and ODBC components can run over Windows NT!

please try to give an early and detailed reply.. i would be more obliged!

thanking you in advance!

The outlook is rosy for you!

All of the things you want to achieve are doable (good word isn't it). Unless you plan to get into some lowish level Windows API calls there should be no problem with the VB app you write in 98 being used on NT.

ODBC does not have to be involved at all, it is best if you use ADO as your data access components and the OLEDB provider for Jet (which version depends on which version of Access you are using).

Good luck!
