Julius you can try the following codes using c#.net OleDbConnection conn=new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0;Data Source=C:\students.mdb"); conn.Open(); OleDbCommand cmd=new OleDbCommand(); conn.Connection=conn; conn.CommandText=String.Format("Select * from Students"); OleDbDataAdapter adp=new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd); int temp=cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); if(temp>0) { MessageBox.Show("Records Selected"); } else { MessageBox.Show("Records Not Selected"); } From SIAMEH THEOPHILUS UNIVERSITY OF GHANA,LEGON-----00233 243559227
