Preparing for the Sample Application
The sample application is built using Microsoft SQL Server's Northwind sample database. If you do not have Microsoft SQL Server available, you can use the Access/Jet version of the same database, Northwind.mdb file supplied with the sample files for this book.
TIP
If you're going to use the Northwind database, you'll need to change the connection string in DataHandler.vb to point to the Northwind.mdb file supplied with the examples. You can find the connection string in the DataHandler.vb file in the completed Northwind sample project. You will be unable to run the examples that involve stored procedures, because Microsoft Access (and the Jet database engine) doesn't support stored procedures.
