[Year 12 SofDev] Difference between VB.Net (Express Edition)andVB.NET

[Charmaine Taylor]

Hi Kim,
I also had no trouble linking to a database to read the data but did 
have trouble updating the database. However, the tutes at 
www.homeandlearn.co.uk provided clear, step by step instructions that 
enabled us to solve the problem.
